Prolight + Sound Guangzhou 2021 to spotlight “Tech meets culture” among its 15 thematic halls

9 Feb 2021

The pro AV and entertainment fraternity is eagerly awaiting the 19th edition of Prolight + Sound Guangzhou (PLSG), which returns to areas A & B of the China Import and Export Complex from 16 – 19 May. With less than four months remaining before it opens its doors, exhibitor participation has exceeded expectations. The 2021 fair is set to surpass the scale of past editions, with 15 thematic halls spanning 150,000 sqm. Among many highlights on the show floor will be the “Tech meets culture” concept, which will take centre stage in hall 12.2.

Technology continues to transform the pro AV and entertainment industry and is having a strong influence on the cultural sector. Ms Judy Cheung, Deputy General Manager, Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, explains: “The application of more advanced AV equipment and technology in spaces such as museums, tourist attractions and concert halls is driving new audience engagement and creating fresh avenues for business. This has naturally become an area of focus for system integrators as well as equipment suppliers, and in recent years Prolight + Sound Guangzhou has positioned itself as an ideal place to keep pace with the relevant technologies. Through the dedicated area in hall 12.2 we aim to encourage closer collaboration between cultural and technology players.”

An extensive product array in hall 12.2 will be supplemented by on stage demonstrations of new formats in light, sound and visuals, delivering the highest levels of AV experiences to audience members. With a wealth of expertise in the fields of concert, audio and stage technology, Showplus Technology (Beijing) Co Ltd, a leading system integrations and collaboration technologies company, will demonstrate how to combine stage designs and exhibitor equipment for optimal effects and performances, even in a limited venue space.

Apart from stage tech demonstrations, Visual Jockey, an online media giant in China, will join hands with PLSG to provide visitors with an interactive multimedia display showcasing new media technologies. The company will also provide detailed analysis of the on-stage performances and equipment setups and share information on the latest industry techniques through a tailored seminar. Visual Jockey’s industry influence, network and reputation in new media technology, performance and installation will attract a wider scope of visitors to PLSG, including more event organisers, system integrators and installers.
