Organisers comment: "At last year's event more than 900 exhibitors welcomed over 42,000 visitors to their booths. In 2016, we are moving to the east of the Frankfurt Exhibition Centre in order to accommodate our increase in size. Prolight+Sound is the perfect industry forum for face-to face discussions and for developing your business networks. Benefit, too, from the synergies of the parallel Musikmesse and meet the right target groups for you."
Within the framework of the shift from the western to the eastern section of the exhibition centre in 2016, the theatre, studio and stage lighting, stages, trusses, stage technology, and machinery segments will move to Hall 3.0 (Light + Stage). Hall 3.1 (Sound + Audio) will present products revolving around portable sound, concert sound, installed sound, networks, mobile PA systems and accessories. In addition to lighting technology, Hall 4.0 (Light + Multimedia) provides the setting for media technology, film and camera technology, displays, video, and LED. The microphones, recording, production and broadcasting product groups, as well as installed sound, networks, and AV media technology, will be located in Hall 4.1 (Audio + AV Systems). Hall 5.0 (Lights + Effects) will host everything relating to show and stage lighting, lasers and effects, full-range companies and contract furnishing. The seminars of the Prolight+Sound Conference and Eventplaza Conference are moving to Forum.0 and Forum.1 where speakers will pass on valuable practical knowledge for the sector. Also in Forum.0 is the Education and Associations area with presentations by, inter alia, trade associations, publishing companies, service providers, and universities.
In 2016, Prolight+Sound will be held from Tuesday 5 April to Friday 8 April from 10:00 to 19:00 daily. "This leaves planners, engineers, service providers and designers free for their weekend events," say organisers.
