THE GET SHOW / PROLIGHT+SOUND

GUANGZHOU, CHINA / 8 -11 MAY & 10-13 MAY

Between 8-11 May, Guangzhou Pazhou Poly World Trade Centre hosted The GET Show, which has now become one of the largest entertainment technology shows in Asia. Over the road - just two days later - the China Import and Export Fair Complex opened its doors for Prolight+Sound Guangzhou (PL+S GZ) between 10-13 May, turning this sprawling port city into a technology hub and hotspot for anyone wanting to see the latest audio, lighting and visual products, as well as any developments from some of the largest manufacturers and

distributors in the world. This year’s GET Show boasted over 700 exhibitors, with approximately 80,000 local and overseas visitors. The layout of this show has always been accommodating and easy to navigate and this year was no exception, with five lighting halls, three audio halls - including one international brand hall - and one outdoor line array stage in close proximity, and easily accessible. There were many eye-catching stands and products on display, but, in particular, GTD

attracted enormous attention with its creative booth design and, more importantly, the new products release ceremony. The GTD- 371 II BEAM and GTD-LM660 II Spot/Profile were very popular with the many visitors that attended. New on display in China for Wireless Solution was the UglyBox MK2 - a compact new wireless signal tester, which is a valuable tool for users of wireless products, providing proof of a solid signal and peace of mind in the absence of visible cable. The UglyBox MK2 is housed in

an attractive compact body, resembling a gaming control with a 4.3-inch LCD touch screen. It supports 2.4GHz, 5.2GHz and 5.8GHz and is a transceiver solution, which means that it can be used as both transmitter and receiver. PL+S Guangzhou also enjoyed a rise in visitor numbers and exhibitors - and it now feels like both shows can run concurrently without it being a huge problem. With 1,300 exhibitors from 25 countries and regions, and 75,993 visitors covering 130,000 sq metres of exhibition space across 13 halls and the Y-Channel area, it was an equally huge exhibition to visit. Ms Judy Cheung, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd, was delighted with

the immediate outcome of the 2018 edition: “With the show’s refined approach in product zoning and offerings, it is very encouraging to see the growth in visitors and exhibitors this year. The continued happiness of our participants is testament to the show’s commitment in responding to the industry’s transforming needs.” Many key international audio and lighting brands could be found across all of the halls, including Absen, Bosch, Bose, d&b audiotechnik, HARMAN Professional Solutions, MADRIX, Pangolin, SE Audiotechnik, Sennheiser, SGM, Shure, Yamaha and many more. Both exhibitors and visitors alike were impressed with the broad collection of companies, as well as the new and innovative products at their

booths. Another unique part of the fringe programme was the Outdoor Line Array, which gathered 34 international and domestic professional audio brands to showcase the qualities of their audio systems. Guests were able to sample first-hand some of the most advanced audio technology in the market. Feedback proved that the show is very beneficial in representing both leading global brands and Chinese brands under one roof, particularly through the live demonstrations. Both shows will be happy with the rising statistics and yearly increase in

international visitor numbers. Both exhibitions have become an essential part of our tradeshow calendar and we will certainly be in Guangzhou (or ‘The City of Rams’ as I’ve affectionately come to know it as) next year.
