4 Oct 2018

With 1,300 exhibitors and 75,993 professional buyers and industry players worldwide attending the show’s most recent edition, Prolight + Sound Guangzhou 2019 (PLSG) is set to be yet another phenomenal industry event to kickstart the year in Asia. There are less than five months to go, and close to 80% of available space has already been booked.

PLSG will take place from 24 – 27 February 2019 at Area A of China Import and Export Fair Complex. The show will present 13 thematic halls and the Y-Channel demonstration area with a technology-oriented fringe programme on event planning and organising, AoIP and innovative stage design and technical implication concepts for Pro AV and IT sectors.

Across the 130,000 sqm of exhibition space, the focus will fall on an unmatched range of products that are not only for professional users in the entertainment technology field, but also for those in corporate and residential sectors including installers, contractors, consultants and retailers.

After favourable response on the refreshed approach at the 2018 edition, and with the aim to capture the growing opportunities in media technologies and system integrations, the show’s signature Audio Brand Name halls will have a new arrangement this year, spanning across Hall 2.2, 3.2, 4.2 (communication and conferencing) and 5.2 (media systems and solutions).

Ms Judy Cheung, Deputy General Manager for Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd, reflected her optimism on the show’s growth spurt: “The positive trends encourage Prolight + Sound Guangzhou to stay ahead of the market trends, and strengthen its position as a sourcing hub in China during the peak sourcing season. We are riding the wave of technological convergence in the entertainment and media system sectors.”

Hall 4.2 will feature communication and conferencing products with an enhanced setting, in light of a report by the China Government Procurement Network, the revenue in the conferencing sector in the first quarter of 2018 has reached RMB160 million [1] . This opens up the market opportunities in seamless communication and collaboration in various business environments.

Meanwhile, new technologies are opening up more avenues for entertainment experiences such as streaming content, multiscreen engagement and much more on customised solutions. As such, a number of high quality karaoke systems, mini home theatres, smart digital AV and system integrations will be featured in the Y-Channel of the Complex, Theatre K. Pub, supplementing the KTV hall (Hall 1.2).
