To support the Chinese government’s efforts in controlling the novel coronavirus outbreak, the Prolight + Sound Guangzhou organizers have decided to postpone the 2020 fair, originally scheduled to take place Feb. 19 to 22 at Area A & B China Import & Export Fair Complex, Guangzhou. The new show dates will be announced by the show’s organizers, Messe Frankfurt and Guangdong International Science & Technology Exhibition Co. (STE), at a future date.
On Jan. 24, the Department of Commerce for the Guangdong Province released a notice regarding the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus. To strengthen the epidemic prevention efforts, the Office for the Novel Coronavirus Control and Prevention Unit in Guangdong has requested to suspend all large scale trade and economic events until further notice.
“The health of our show attendees is our primary concern. We believe this decision is the best arrangement under the current circumstances. We are communicating closely with our partner, STE, and will announce the new show date as soon as it is confirmed,” said Judy Cheung, deputy general manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd.
