[edit] History

The show was run by an external events company, Clarion Events, for 16 years until 2007, when PLASA brought the management of it in-house with PLASA Events Ltd[1]. PLASA have always owned the show itself however. The 2007 show saw a move away from using the 1st floor area of Earl's Court and the use of Earl's Court 2 in addition to Earl's Court 1.

[edit] Facts & Figures

PLASA's last ABC audited attendance was 12,852, of which 28% were from outside the UK[2]. The show expanded in 2007 to host exhibitors in the Earl's Court 2 hall as well as Earl's Court 1. The show typically runs for 4 days at the beginning of September each year.
