At the show’s conclusion, Ms Judy Cheung, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, commented: “Over the last four days, the fairground was alive with a high level of dynamic business exchanges, bolstered by robust international brand and visitor participation despite ongoing industry headwinds. We were delighted to see exhibitors stay firmly focused on applicable real world scenarios, underpinned by new technologies, enabling visitors to truly experience the tangible value of these solutions in practice. Looking ahead, Prolight + Sound Guangzhou will continue to expand its specialised zones that emphasise emerging products, providing a constant high‐quality indicator of where the future of the industry is heading.”
