The new layout of the fair at the exhibition centre takes account of exhibitor wishes and will also make life easier for trade visitors next spring, the organizers claim. Hall 9 features show and stage lighting, lasers, effects and design and installation, and Hall 8 will host lighting and stage technology, as well as parts of live sound, fixed installations and studio and communication technology. Exhibitors and visitors of the mobile audio technology segment, who are traditionally based in Hall 4.1 in the eastern section of the exhibition centre with microphones, effects and mobile PA systems, will find their counterparts - fixed audio and studio technology - in Hall 8.
Prolight+Sound will be open daily from 10a.m. to 6p.m. on the four days from 31 March to 3 April 2004 and take place alongside the International Musikmesse, which is also scheduled to run for four days.
