Event Safey Alliance
Visits Prolight
+ Sound
Show in China
In February, Event Safety Alliance
delivered a seminar in the
fringe program at the Prolight + Sound Show in the southern Chinese metropolis of Guangzhou.
Jaime Welton, Technical Director of the Wukesong Arena in Beijing, and Jimmy Chan, Director of
Asia Business Development for the ESA, made their presentation: “Safety, a Leading Core Value
in Live Events“ for the PLSG Annual Training Course on the first day of the trade show. The pre-
sentation was held in English and Chinese.
“In one of the fastest growing markets in the world, with a population of 1,3 billion people, I am
very happy the ESA can initiate a safety awareness in this live event industry and to be able to
offer basic training with other organizations,” said Jimmy Chan.
Involvement in the event came at the suggestion of ESA affiliate member VPLT, The German
Entertainment Technology Association. “VPLT is very supportive of the ESA’s goals, and believed
participation at PLSG would be an excellent forum to further the organization’s message ,“ said
Randell Greenlee, Director of Policy and International Relations at VPLT. “We look forward to
continued collaboration and outreach with the ESA around the globe.”
