    "description": "\u200b\u200bPerformance Learning Exchange (PLx) is UK Sport\u0027s annual event which provides the opportunity for 300-400 individuals working within the High-Performance environment (Chairs, CEOs, Performance Directors, Managers, Coaches, Sports Science and Medicine personnel) with the opportunity to explore and discuss topics and themes relevant to the system through thought-provoking sessions delivered by experts from inside and outside of sport. It also offers the chance for the system to come together and share thoughts, experiences and world leading practice in the lead up to the winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.\n\u200bUK Sport now invites Tenders for the provision of Audio Visual, Design and support at PLx, a 3 day event, taking place from Monday 1st December - Wednesday 3rd December at the Queens Hotel in Leeds.\n\u200bThe PLx schedule will typically consist of a mix of keynote sessions with all delegates in a main plenary room and elective sessions which run concurrently. Generally, 4 sessions run at the same time and the use of up to 4 rooms, and the related AV equipment/technicians, is a necessity. These sessions vary in style from lecture style presentation to hands-on workshops where delegates are encouraged to work with one another and share their knowledge and experiences.\n\u200bThe 4 rooms we will use at The Queens Hotel are\n\u200bThe Queens Ballroom\n\u200bPalm Court\n\u200bJohn Charles Suite\n\u200bArk Royal\n\u200bA brief outline of the standard equipment is listed below.
