Numerous companies to present best practice examples at the Prolight Sound Manufacturers' Forum
Professional development, event expertise and new technologies: Prolight Sound from 4 to 7 April 2017 offers an extensive programme of lectures covering all facets of the event industry. Aimed at both newcomers to the sector and experts, the lectures will be held in the Forum building, close to the City Entrance of the Exhibition Centre. Hardly any other industry is developing as rapidly as the event sector. The conference programme at Prolight Sound enables professionals to keep abreast of the latest technologies and areas of application, as well as to gain new inspiration and learn to operate cost effectively , says Michael Biwer, Group Show Director of the Entertainment, Media & Creative Industries Division of Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH.
As in previous years, the programme is split into three parts, the Prolight Sound Conference, the Manufacturers' Forum and the Eventplaza Conference. Numerous lectures will be given in English and are aimed at an international audience.
Prolight Sound Conference
In the 30-plus seminars of the Prolight Sound Conference, participants can learn all about subjects such as technology, training, law, business and aesthetics in the event technology sector. Expert speakers from Germany and abroad will provide interesting impressions of their work and present the latest developments in the market. We are delighted to have been able to gain so many top speakers , says Ralf Stroetmann, Head of the Training and Law Division of the German Entertainment Technology Association (VPLT). Visitors who attend the seminars can gain valuable insights into the daily business of our industry and see how innovative, creative, professional and reliably our specialists operate.

Prolight Sound Manufacturers' Forum
Launched successfully in 2016, this professional-development forum gives companies the chance to pass on their expertise to event technicians, service providers and other players from the event industry. Advanced technologies are presented by reference to specific projects and best-practice examples.
The companies taking part include Link S.r.l. ( Myths, Challenges and Advances in Power & Signal Distribution for Live Event Production', Bob Vanden Burgt), Hearsafe (Communication in a noisy setting - occupational health and safety through technology and tactics', Eckart Beste) and Visual Productions BV ( Protocols for lighting integration', Maarten Engels). The lectures will take place on the first three days of the fair (4 to 6 April).
Eventplaza Conference
The lectures of the Eventplaza Conference are aimed specifically at event and incentive managers, specialists from the fields of marketing, communication and human resources and congress and conference organisers, and will provide practical tips on subjects such as organisation, presentation and personnel development in the event sector.
Also part of the Eventplaza Conference is the 5th International Event Safety Conference (I-ESC) on Wednesday, 5 April. In this case, the focus is on safety and security at events. What must event organisers take account of with regard to liability risks? How to ensure a feeling of safety and security among event visitors? What role does communication play in this connection? I-ESC will answer these and many other questions.
Keynote lecture by set designer Nicoline Refsing at the Eventplaza Conference
Another highlight of the Eventplaza Conference is the keynote lecture by British set designer Nicoline Refsing who has been involved with the realisation of many world-famous shows and gained particular renown through her work as creative director of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest. In her lecture, she will explain how she and her team brought the Eurovision stage to life and give insights into the creative process behind large-scale events.
