Prolight + Sound Guangzhou 2026 has come to a close, sending a strong signal to the international entertainment technology and Pro AV sectors. Over the course of four days in Guangzhou, the focus was on new products, technical developments and face-to-face meetings. From professional lighting technology, audio and stage technology to AV solutions and immersive applications, the exhibition once again demonstrated just how dynamically the market is evolving.
With 2,227 exhibitors and 111,065 visitors, Prolight + Sound Guangzhou reaffirmed its role as one of the most important platforms for entertainment, professional audio, lighting technology and Pro AV in the Asian market. Particularly noteworthy was the fact that the number of international visitors rose by almost five per cent. The event thus confirmed not only its strong regional significance but also its growing international influence.
Four days packed with technology, discussion and inspiration
At the exhibition centre, it became clear just how diverse the industry has become. In addition to traditional product presentations, the focus was primarily on application-oriented solutions. Many exhibitors showcased technologies for live events, installations, touring, immersive experience spaces, commercial applications and digital entertainment formats.
At the same time, Prolight + Sound Guangzhou 2026 served as a forum for exchange. Discussions at the stands, in dedicated areas and during the supporting programme focused on current market demands, new areas of application and the question of how technology can be used even more flexibly, safely and sustainably in the future. It was precisely this combination of product experience and professional dialogue that gave the exhibition its unique energy.
Strong figures for a growing market
The final figures show that the industry continues to evolve. 2,227 exhibitors showcased products and solutions for entertainment, professional AV, lighting, audio, stage, communications and digital applications. 111,065 visitors attended the trade fair to gather information, network and experience new technologies first-hand.
The slight increase in international visitor numbers is a significant indicator. It shows that Guangzhou is becoming increasingly important to trade visitors from abroad. For manufacturers, service providers, planners and technical decision-makers, the trade fair therefore remains a key meeting place for identifying trends at an early stage and establishing new business contacts.
Looking ahead: Prolight + Sound Guangzhou 2027
Following the success of the 2026 event, attention is already turning to next year. The next Prolight + Sound Guangzhou will take place in Guangzhou from 27 to 30 May 2027.
The next event for the international entertainment technology and Pro AV community has therefore already been confirmed. After four intense days at the trade fair, the impression remains of an event that brings together technology, innovation and personal interaction, and which is likely to provide further important impetus for the industry in 2027.
