To underline the drive towards technological convergence in the pro AV and IT sectors, Prolight + Sound Guangzhou will return next year with a renewed approach in the fair’s organisation. In addition to its comprehensive showcase of pro audio, lighting, event and stage products, the 2018 edition will lean more towards integrated solutions in the areas of audio, lighting, communication, conferencing and KTV.
     Held from 10 – 13 May 2018, the fair will comprise of 13 thematic halls and the Y Channel, all dedicated to the advancements in the pro AV and lighting market. Over 1,300 companies are expected to showcase their expertise across 130,000 sq m of exhibition space at the China Import and Export Fair Complex, Guangzhou. 
     Recent economic statistics suggest that the global AV market continues to grow rapidly, driven by the transition from projections to displays, the rising control of integrated building systems, and the incorporation of cloud computing and SaaS. With the second largest market share in the global AV industry, China remains a very lucrative market for exhibitors and visitors to tap into.
     The vast possibilities created by the convergence of the AV and IT worlds will be brought to the stage of Prolight + Sound Guangzhou. The latest integrated solutions from China’s most burgeoning markets – the communication and conferencing, karaoke and home theatre sectors – will be emphasised in the designated areas at the Y Channel and in the Audio Brand Name Halls.
     Communication and conferencing is becoming an increasingly popular segment and important aspect of the fair, particularly with the Chinese government’s greater focus on cost optimisation, convenience and clarity in real-data transmission. This special area will cover a wide array of conference systems, networks, as well as AV and communication systems. 
     As more and more consumers pursue a personalised and integrated entertainment experience both at home and outdoors, the demand for multi-functional karaoke rooms and mini theatres is growing at a staggering rate. The “Theatre K. Pub” which enjoyed great success last year, will expand once again for this edition. High quality karaoke systems, mini home theatres, customised installations, smart digital AV and system integrations will be featured here.
     Apart from the aforementioned areas, Prolight + Sound Guangzhou will continue to deliver an all-inclusive platform with its Audio Brand Name Halls, Pro Audio Halls, Lighting Halls, KTV Hall and Enping Microphone Hall. There will also be dedicated product zones for stage equipment, parts and accessories, as well as projection and display. 
     Prolight + Sound Guangzhou is organised by Messe Frankfurt and the Guangdong International Science and Technology Exhibition Company. For more information, please visit www.prolightsound-guangzhou.com
