Pro Light and Sound to merge with Showtech
Published: ASIA
WORLD: Messe Frankfurt has announced that Pro Light and Sound and Showtech will be held together for the first time from 15 to 18 April 2015. As a result of the change, the organisers expect numerous additional exhibitors and trade visitors from the stage technology and the equipment and film business.
‘We are proud that we will be able to portray the sector even more comprehensively at Messe Frankfurt and literally offer an attractive stage for more professions from the theatre and film business,’ said Cordelia von Gymnich, VP consumer goods and entertainment, Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH. ‘With a special programme for all visitors from the theatre sector, an addition to the successful Theatre and Film Colloquium and a special ‘Quickfinder’ guide to Showtech-relevant exhibitors, we aim to underscore the great significance of this thematic supplement to Pro Light and Sound.’
'An event such as Pro Light and Sound in combination with Showtech illustrates how dependent the individual segments are on each other – and how much they can profit from each other when it comes to mastering common challenges,’ commented Regine Hergersberg, MD of the Federation of Film Makers’ Associations. ‘In Frankfurt, we have the chance to demonstrate the complex nature of film making, to make new contacts and to arouse the interest of experts from related industries in our work.’
