Prolight + Sound is upon us! It will take place from 4 to 7 April and represents a unique occasion for workers in the sector to get a close look at the evolution of the entertainment world. We talked about it directly with the event\u2019s director himself, Michael Biwer, over the course of a long interview that we will share in the upcoming issue of Connessioni.<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking about this 2017 edition: what the novelties will be?<\/strong>
\nFollowing the extensive changes introduced last year, we are consolidating the successful measures implemented. Naturally, there will also be new features, for example, the \u2018Silent Stage\u2019 area where visitors can learn from a best-practice example how noise levels on the stage itself can be minimised and how front-of-the-house sound can profit from this setup. Moreover, we are continuing to make the seminar programme even more international. Thus, a growing number of lectures at Prolight + Sound, including many relating to AV media technology and systems integration, will be held in English and, therefore, be aimed at an international audience.
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\nHow many visitors do you expect to reach?<\/strong>
\nIn 2016 just under 45,000 visitors came to Frankfurt for Prolight + Sound, and 53 percent of them were from abroad. This year, too, we anticipate an international public and a good mix of professional users, service providers, dealers, location operators and educational agencies from all subdivisions of event and AV media technology \u2013 we deliberately avoid forecasts of visitor numbers, however.<\/p>\n

Historically the event has always been conceived as a well-defined twin event: Prolight+Sound on one side and Musikmesse on the other one.<\/strong><\/p>\n
