Prolight + Sound 2019

This year's "Prolight + Sound" at the Frankfurt exhibition center is getting closer - so it's high time to inform you about everything that we have planned for the exhibition from April 2nd to 5th.

As already announced, we will use an exhibition area of 2,000 square meters in Forum 0 of the fair. Together with the VCA (Vintage Concert Audio), we are presenting over 200 exhibits from 40 years of concert sound reinforcement technology - legendary audio systems from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, which can even be experienced in action: every day from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. awakening bring the systems to life in a listening session!

Numerous panels and rounds of talks will be held with guests from the music and events industry, artists and representatives from politics and business. You can find an overview of all dates below.
 
Above all, our stand should of course be a meeting place for the industry and everyone who is interested in it. We look forward to getting to know each other personally, exchanging information and interesting conversations with you at the ISDV information stand or at the stand bar.
