“Prolight + Sound Shanghai always has its finger on the pulse of times. Year by year,
the show is growing – not only in size, but also in its internationality and offerings. I
believe the key to our success lies in our understanding of the ever-evolving industry.
This year, we’ve forged new partnerships with industry associations from Korea and
Russia, and also launched two product zones for AV entertainment solutions and stage
machinery. We’re confident these enhanced measures will reveal new technologies,
market ideas and international perspectives for the event and entertainment industry.’
