  • "Pro audio products are one of the most sought-after products at PLSG. In my seminar, I introduced attendees to the proper utilisation of audio consoles, and I hope that more people will integrate them into their products, so that end users can benefit. Compared with similar trade fairs, I think this show has a geographic advantage because of Guangzhou’s excellent business environment, especially in the audio sector. Just like the city, PLSG itself serves as a base for pro audio products in China, bringing together manufacturers from across the country. Industry players collaborate and learn from each other here.” PLSG Annual Training Course Speaker Mr Henry Zhou, Technical Manager, Crestron China

  • “The show’s theme, ‘Tech meets culture’, is highly significant to us. During stage art production, we encounter various challenges concerning technology, equipment, and innovative technical presentations. While the show is dedicated to showcasing cutting-edge technologies and products, the organisers work so hard to pursue artistic expression through technology. As a result, the show has consistently been one of the world’s leaders in presenting technological innovation and nurturing the stage art industry. Our aims closely align with one another.”  Supporting Association Representative Professor Tianfu Yin, Director of the Stage Art Department, Shanghai Theatre Academy
