PLSG earns industry support with positive feedback from fairgoers
  • “We’ve exhibited at the show for 14 years and we see huge progress every year. Customers are more diverse and the planning of the exhibition halls is very well-organised. The international influence of the show has helped us reach many clients from Europe, the US and Southeast Asia. Due to the pandemic, we are currently looking to expand in the local market and we are glad that the show provides us with the opportunities to meet with so many professional domestic customers.”

    Ms Amy Liu, Project Manager, Guangzhou Eagle Stage Equipment Co Ltd


  • “Guangzhou is a base for many lighting and audio brands. As a leading trade fair in the industry, PLSG attracts a diverse customer base thanks to its geographical advantage, reputation in the industry and trade fair scale. The show helps us quickly find new local and overseas clients to expand our business, particularly professional customers in the fields of stage art and engineering projects.”
    Mr Yanzheng Lü, Product Manager, Guangzhou GTD Culture & Technology Group Co Ltd


  • “As a trade fair held locally, PLSG makes companies from Guangdong like us feel at home. The impact of the pandemic in the past two years has affected all walks of life. However, the organisers of PLSG insist to continue the show, which has delivered positive vibes to the industry and suppliers. We can provide an even better service and have higher-level discussions with customers, because the visitors who came to the show are all relevant and professional buyers. We have also enjoyed better communications with other exhibitors. These are the advantages of participating in a physical trade fair. Face-to-face interaction is indeed a foundation for building business.”
    Mr Chengming Wang, General Manager, Charming Co Ltd

  • “As a producer of the fair’s ‘Unicorn Series’, we showcased our major breakthroughs in digital control systems, visuals and stage design. Our intention was to boost confidence in the industry by demonstrating our successful development during the pandemic. It was also important for us to showcase a production created entirely by a Chinese team that reflects the country’s characteristics and capabilities. We hope the installation and performance of the Unicorn showcase has brought the industry some new ideas and inspiration. In terms of the future, the industry is focusing on the development and integration of new systems in areas such as pro lighting and stage lighting.”

  • “What impresses us the most about PLSG is the organisers’ determination to transform the exhibition. They have turned a simple commercial exhibition into an exhibition with its own unique ideas and characteristics, showcasing a variety of innovative concepts. Apart from being an exhibitor, this year our company was eager to set up more thought-provoking and in-depth projects in the fairground as a sponsor. We took the lead and became the organiser of the ‘Immersive entertainment space’, joining hands with a number of outstanding performing arts equipment companies and gathering advanced technologies and products. The combination allowed visitors to enjoy lighting, audio, video, and the most popular feature – live electronic music in an indoor bar. The information and trends showcased at PLSG reflect the organiser’s sensitivity to the market.”

  • “Digitalisation is at the centre of competition in today's industry. Many segments are going through digital and intelligent transformation, and the integration of the internet and the real economy is becoming more extensive and in-depth. Focusing on immersive experiences, the fair’s ‘Unicorn Series’ and ‘Spark Rebirth: Immersive Interactive Showcase’ demonstrated how to integrate new types of installations for the entertainment, cultural tourism and commercial sectors. We were pleased to present our latest innovations to audiences through these two showcases, and our hanging light fixtures were perfectly integrated into the performances. The evolution of PLSG as a trade fair closely matches the creative direction of our company and we are grateful to the organisers for providing us with such a high-quality platform.”

  • “It’s gratifying to see so many top local lighting brands participating in the fair. Stage lighting is an important component of stage, film and TV. The lighting industry is definitely moving forward with cultural tourism in full swing and artificial intelligence becoming more advanced. It’s important that industry players also explore other markets. As part of this year’s fair, the China Illuminating Engineering Society: Stage, Film and TV Lighting Specialists Committee was pleased to organise a series of professional seminars, training courses and buyer delegations. This played an important role in spreading the latest insights about trends and developments.”
