Prolight + Sound Guangzhou 2023 concludes with a record high number of visitors

Dimming the lights on May 25, Prolight + Sound Guangzhou 2023 (PLSG) has illuminated a strong outlook for the global entertainment and pro AV industry, with a significant 61% increase in visitors reaching 85,046 – a new high. The four‐day show also featured over 50 fringe events and showcased 1,403 exhibitors, representing a 35% growth from the previous edition.

Major participating brands this year included the likes of ACE, ACME, Audio Center, Audio‐Technica, Beta‐Three, Big Dipper, BIK, BMB, Boray, Bosch, Bose, Cadac, CD‐Stage, Charming, D&B Audiotechnik, Danacoid, Dare, DMT, Eagle Truss, EZ Pro, Fidek, Fine Art, Golden Sea, Gonsin, Haimei, Harman International, High End Plus, Hivi, ITC, Jusheng, Longjoin Group, Mode, Neutrik, Nightsun, PCI, Phoenix, Pioneer DJ, Plustruss, Polar Lights, Qiangli Jucai, Ray Long, SAE, Se Audiotechnik, Sennheiser, Showven, Shure, Soundking, ST Audio, Star‐Net, Taiden, Takstar, Yamaha, Yeahtone, Yin Chuang and Zhonghui.

According to the organisers, the enthusiastic response underlines PLSG’s status as an indispensable platform for both local and international industry players. This year’s show once again went beyond just showcasing the latest advancements in entertainment and pro AV technologies to also highlight the vast potential applications of these solutions in a variety of industries: from construction and the commercial sector, to cultural tourism and personal use. The Recording and Production Zone, for example, was strategically separated out from other business areas this year to help industry players capitalise on rapid growth in the personal recording market.

In tandem with this, as the cultural and entertainment industries make a full recovery, markets such as concerts, stage performances and cultural tourism are flourishing. As a result, the PLS Unicorn Series was once again a highly popular attraction at the fairground, illustrating its position as a leading benchmark for showcasing excellence in the industry. The immersive experiences created by the pro AV solutions, media art and stage installations captivated audiences and demonstrated new standards for what's possible in the world of events and live performances.

The next edition will take place from 23 – 26 May 2024 in Areas A and B of the China Import and Export Fair Complex.
