SHANGHAI Messe Frankfurt and INTEX Shanghai are launching a new international exhibition in China for the professional audio and entertainment lighting industry. ProLight+Sound Shanghai will make its debut at the INTEX exhibition centre and the Shanghaimart on October 15-18, 2003. ProLight+Sound Shanghai will be positioned as a professional marketing platform for manufacturers of sound production, broadcasting and recording equipment, lighting, laser technology and special effects for the entertainment industry, stage, studio and event technology, and pro-audio and lighting-related computer hardware and software. As an entertainment venue in itself, the show will be accompanied by live performances and special events, including a DJ competition. "Many international manufacturers see ProLight+Sound in Frankfurt as the premier promotional event of the year," Messe Frankfurt Hong Kong general manager Ms Betty Heywood. "We want to help those companies in the pro-audio and lighting sector, with who we have long term business relationships, boost their international sales and break into the world's biggest growth market."
