‘Prolight + Sound is a special event in our portfolio of technology fairs. It combines technical innovations and knowledge transfer with entertainment and, in doing so, builds a bridge to the future of the event industry. For 30 years, Prolight + Sound has been the first choice for professional encounters in the entertainment technology sector – always young, fresh and full of passion. Together with the advisory board, the associations of the event industry and a worldwide sales partner network, we are continuously expanding the status of Prolight + Sound as the leading trade fair for entertainment technology in Europe and setting important impulses in topics such as sustainability, AI or the shortage of skilled workers.’

‘Whether for concerts and stage shows, film and TV productions, museums or leisure and adventure worlds, for 30 years Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt has been the place where the event industry meets, presents innovations, networks and celebrates its big family reunion for four days. As a trade fair and event organiser, Prolight + Sound is particularly close to the hearts of Messe Frankfurt and myself. The event conveys what makes personal encounters special: emotions.

‘Communication is a dynamic process in which many people are involved – whether as senders, receivers or as part of a community. Similar to an event, a concert or a show, the perfect interaction of all participants at the right time is crucial so that everyone can benefit as much as possible.
We also design the communication around Prolight + Sound in such a way that all channels and messages are harmoniously coordinated. Our aim is to provide exhibitors, trade visitors, partners and the media with exactly the information they need – individually and at the right time. In this way, we create real added value through a targeted approach.’
