This genuinely seems so cool! I think a huge convention like this with lights and sound is such an interesting thing to create. Not only that would be really cool to attend. I remember that I was kind of keeping up with a couple of the Articles throughout the week about what was happening at this convention and the different devices there. It was pretty neat to see all the different things and watch how it progressed throughout the length of the convention. I'm really curious as to how people choose to design for this. is it the companies that used to design and then they hire people to make certain designs for them or is it designers freely designing with the companies. I hope that one day I would get to attend something like this, or as an even bigger bonus design/create something like this. Another question I had when I saw this is just how much money is in that room. I feel like that is prime equipment right there so it has to be worth a ton.
I think I’ve seen an article on the blog before about Prolight + Sound. It looks like a really awesome trade fair. It stood out to me that a quarter of the attendees were under the age of 25. Like the article says, I guess it goes to show how a younger generation is beginning to take the industry into their own hands. I wonder if the demographic would be different if the event was hosted in another country, though. The offered presentations, discussions, and lectures sounded really interesting in how forward focused they were, for example the mentioned lecture on artificial intelligence. I have no idea what “light as a material” could even mean. It also stood out to me how forward looking the event is when they talked about the expo halls. I think there are some things, like LEDs and networking, that are usual for trade shows, while topics like energy efficiency and sustainability are really relatively new discussions for the industry.
Prolight + Sound is this massive meetup where tech, tunes, and talks come together, kind of turning the whole idea of a traditional event on its head. Instead of just jamming to music on an outdoor stage or getting lost in the usual live shows and DJ spins, this event cranks up the wow factor with some insane lighting and stage tricks that seriously amp up the vibe. It's like, everyone from everywhere, no matter how young or old, finds something that hits the right note for them. The whole thing feels like you've stepped into a futuristic movie, with all these immersive and interactive experiences that literally pull you into the scene. It's all about doing it green. The event is a big thumbs-up for sustainability, proving you can throw an unforgettable bash without trashing the planet. Honestly, the idea of being part of something like this gets me pumped. To be surrounded by cutting-edge sound systems and to witness first-hand those rich audio-visual effects they're talking about would be a dream. Plus, getting a close-up look at how they blend entertainment with eco-friendly practices, sign me up for that future.
