Prolight + Sound 2018 starts in April with an innovation: from now on, Hall 4.1 will be shared by Prolight + Sound and Musikmesse that takes place on three parallel days. Products that are relevant for both groups of professional visitors will be presented here.
Using Synergies – Strengthening Positive Interactions
With the newly designed hall exhibitors can optimally reach their target audience and professional visitors have an easier time finding more interesting products.The synergies between the Music Fair and Prolight + Sound are a decisive factor for the success of both events. The integration of the product area Audio, DJ & Recording in Hall 4.1 enhances those positive interactions.
Michael Biwer, Group Show Director des Bereichs, Entertainment, Media & Creative Industries of Messe Frankfurt
According to Biwer, the new concept in Hall 4.1 was the result of numerous conversations with the companies within the industry. The shared exhibition space will also in regard to visitor marketing and information be a component of Musikmesse as well as Prolight + Sound. Exhibitors in the shared hall will correspondingly be found in exhibitor index, app, and catalogue of both fairs.
