“The event industry is ready and hungry for a reunion. This is a clear signal we have received from companies and professionals. The positive overall mood creates a promising framework: not only for presentation and business, but also for talent acquisition and for the high-profile presentation of industry-relevant topics,” says Kerstin Horaczek, vice president technology shows at Messe Frankfurt.
Mira Wölfel, director Prolight + Sound, adds: “In this context, I would like to express my respect to the industry, which has managed to further expand its commitment to more sustainability despite the greatest economic constraints. Thus, ecological solutions and the ‘green event idea’ take a central role at Prolight + Sound 2022.”
A particular product focus in 2022 will be the theatre and stage technology segment, which had already developed into a mainstay of Prolight + Sound before the pandemic. Key players in the field of stage machinery, control, automation and equipment will be present, as will companies in the lighting and sound segment offering specialised theatre solutions. The new Theatre + Light Stage in Hall 12.0 presents a specialised programme of lectures and gives suppliers of stage and lighting technology the opportunity to present their innovations at product demos. For the first time, Prolight + Sound also offers a dedicated exhibition area for studio production and recording solutions. Meanwhile, at the International Event Safety Conference (I-ESC), experts will give practical tips for safe event operations. In addition, the Manufacturers’ Forum will make its return.
