Ms Judy Cheung, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd is looking forward to a productive week: “For the past 18 years, Prolight + Sound Guangzhou has played an important role in information exchange, marketing, training and education for the industry, but this year in particular the fair has become more valuable than ever. On the back of a difficult first half of the year, we are pleased to offer participants the opportunity to benefit from emerging opportunities as the market rebounds. We are grateful to have retained the support of many renowned exhibitors. This demonstrates that the industry places a high level of trust in PLSG.”
A strong line-up of renowned exhibitors

Creating a seamless, online + offline hybrid experience
To accommodate visitors who are unable to attend due to travel restrictions, the organisers are implementing a new "online + offline" combined exhibition model to bridge the gap between professionals worldwide in the entertainment, media and AV industry. The exhibition and the PLSG Annual Training Course will be live streamed on the official PLSG WeChat platform, while the exhibition will also be first time live streamed on HC360.com, one of the largest online trade media.
Fringe programme to help industry players navigate emerging trends and new business realities
The PLSG annual training course provides a platform for both international and local industry experts and practitioners to exchange and share their knowledge and skills in the entertainment, live event production and commercial fields.
The 2020 course will feature seminars and workshops focusing on three hot industry topics:
· The Future of Professional Audio and Lighting: Digital, Networking and Software
· Event Safety Workshop: Safety Planning & Management for Reopening Live Events
· Dante Certification Training and System Application
Running separately to the training course, a variety of fringe programme events will focus on experience-sharing and product demonstrations to promote dialogue between exhibitors, end users and buyers – from newcomers to professionals. Notable highlights include:
· Opportunities and Challenges of Audio technology in Artificial Intelligence
· The 10th Advanced Audio Forum
· The Carving Art Exhibition by Jianshui Yang
· The Outdoor Line Array demonstrations at the 1.0 and 4.0 open-air grounds

Ensuring the health and safety of every participant is the top priority of the organisers. Accordingly, the organisers will strictly follow the local government’s protection guidelines and implement additional safety measures. These include: real identity pre-registration, entry checkpoints to verify the digital health code of all participants, and onsite temperature scans. There will be frequent sanitisation of facilities and distancing measures implemented for seminar attendees.
