Prolight + Sound Shanghai, the Frankfurt fair’s younger sibling, will make its fourth showing in China from 18 – 21 October 2006, alongside the international MI show Music China. As of June 2006 around 170 exhibitors have signed up to take part in the fair, including some of the leading names from the pro-audio, lighting and entertainment technology sector, such as Procon Event, Dataton, Shure, Penn Elcom and Roxland. A special “Premier Contractor Seminar” running in conjunction with the show is expected to attract hundreds of event contractors, specialised engineers and technicians from across China.
Who are the exhibitors at Prolight + Sound Shanghai 2006?
Pro-audio, specialist lighting and entertainment suppliers from around the world can find a strong and growing market in mainland China. Companies from China, Germany, France, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, the UK and the USA have already signed up to be a part of Prolight + Sound Shanghai, showing faith in the fair’s ability to bring them new contacts from China’s vast entertainment and broadcasting sector.
Procon Event Engineering ( www.procon-online.de ), one of the world’s leading technical full-service providers in the area of event engineering who owns one of the largest pools of lighting, sound and video equipment worldwide, has recently founded a new company in Shanghai. They are joining Prolight + Sound Shanghai to help kick-start their business expansion in the region.
“Procon Event Engineering from Germany is delighted to announce its participation in this year’s Prolight + Sound exhibition in Shanghai, one of the world’s most prestigious professional exhibitions for event and entertainment technology,” says Mr. Derek Au, Managing Director of Procon Event Engineering in China. “Prolight + Sound in past years has served as an excellent show-case platform for Procon worldwide, and has helped Procon maintain its image as an innovator and trend-setter in the industry. Our first wholly-owned subsidiary office in the Asia-Pacific region started operating in Shanghai in January this year, and Procon has chosen Prolight + Sound Shanghai to further promote its event technology to potential clients in China, where the events, entertainment and exhibition industries are on the up.”
Shure, a world-leading supplier of microphones and audio electronics ( www.shure.com ), will be present at Prolight + Sound Shanghai for the first time in 2006.
“Shure has always had a good relationship with Messe Frankfurt through the company’s participation in the Frankfurt shows. As such, we had every confidence when we decided to participate in Prolight + Sound Shanghai and Music China, that these shows would be organized with both the exhibitors and visitors needs in mind, and made accessible to end-users through the numerous fringe programs offered,” says Mr. Rob Ascough, Managing Director of Shure Asia Limited. “As a manufacturer, we constantly want to meet new end-users, reconnect with loyal customers and continue to showcase our latest product offerings. Prolight + Sound Shanghai and Music China allow us to meet an array of end-users from the professional industry players to the commercial and installed facilities’ system integrators, to the musicians off the street. I do not see any good enough reason to not participate, in that regard.”
Prolight + Sound Shanghai will feature a Taiwanese Pavilion for the first time in 2006. AV Leader Corp, a Taiwanese manufacturer of microphones and microphone accessories, says, “We join Prolight + Sound Shanghai every year because the show attracts a good number of both local and international buyers. This is the strength of Prolight + Sound Shanghai, it’s very international.”
