It is this time of the year again when we embark on the UK biggest regional event for audio and video professionals – The Look Listen Experience 2015.

Starting off in Glasgow on March 17th, then passing through Manchester on the 19th, Bristol on the 24th, and finishing in London on March 26th, the LLEx2015 brings the latest in professional broadcast video technology to thousands of video professionals throughout the UK.

It is also a great place to attend seminars discussing key industry issues and get advice from leading experts in the production and post-industry.

We know how busy folks in the broadcast and video industry can get, and it is not always possible to get a chance to see the latest developments and offerings from the industry major manufacturers. That's why we created the Look Listen Experience Road Show, so we can bring the kit to you and let you get your hands on it, speak to the manufacturer reps, chat up with fellow camera professionals, editors, sound recordists, producers and many more.
