SIGNALS

Prolight + Sound 2017 to Focus on Visitor Experience
Prolight + Sound 2017 , which runs April 4-7 in Frankfurt , Germany , will again be staged in the eastern part of the Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre , as it was for the first time in 2016 , which allows the fair to expand its spectrum of products and services .
An improved visitor guidance system compared to last year is meant to make it easier for visitors to find the individual product groups ; moreover , there will be separate , clearly laid-out brochures for “ special interest ” product groups , which bring together the appropriate exhibitors from the various segments . These Quickfinders will be available for the Broadcast , Production & Recording , Stage & Theatre , Media Technology & System Integration , and Event & Congress product segments . Exhibitors from the individual special interest segments can also be found directly via the online search engine of the Prolight + Sound website and the Prolight + Sound app .
Also to be retained in 2017 is the new sequence of days , Tuesday to Friday , which was introduced in 2016 . As always , Prolight + Sound visitors can also use their ticket to gain admission to the concurrent Musikmesse trade fair for musical products and services . Together , the two events attract around 2,000 exhibitors and over 100,000 visitors each year .
