On all four days of the fair, the main stage in Hall 11.0 will host lectures and panels with representatives from venues, manufacturers, educational and scientific institutions as well as agencies and innovative start-ups. In addition to organisational and technological steps towards climate-neutral events, the main topics include social sustainability, environmentally friendly tour management and sustainability communication. In the context of a sustainable event industry, the speakers will also address the demand for skilled workers in the sector.
The keynote of the Green Sessions will be given by the Austrian cultural and social anthropologist Bettina Ludwig on 25 April at 12 noon. The winner of the Rupert Riedl Prize for interdisciplinary theses and dissertations has made a name for herself in particular through her research in the field of hunter-gatherer societies and is the author of the book "Unserer Zukunft auf der Spur". In her lecture, Ludwig will talk about connecting elements of all people, across all geographical and cultural borders, and derive recommendations for action for the event industry.
Prolight + Sound 2023: Keeping an eye on the industry's future
In addition to green solutions, the recruitment of young talent is a key theme at Prolight + Sound 2023. At the event, the event industry will show what it is all about: an exciting and diverse field of activity for creative minds as well as a strong and important economic sector.
Against this backdrop, the Future Hub in Hall 11.0 bundles specialised offers for the professionals of today and tomorrow. Part of the area is a Career Centre, where companies present vacancies, a Campus, where educational institutions provide information on career scenarios, and a Start-up Area, providing a showroom for new and creative companies. The entire area is built using recyclable materials and is powered by 100 percent green electricity.
In addition, the Future Talents Day will return to Prolight + Sound. It specifically invites students to the fair and offers a varied programme for the target group: from 'Behind the Scenes' tours and the Talents Rally to networking events with industry colleagues and potential employers.
Partners in the realisation of the Future Hub and the Future Talents Day are the European Association of Event Centres (EVVC) and the Association for Media and Event Technology (VPLT).
