Prolight + Sound Bangkok 2026: New opportunities for the AV industry!

Bangkok is gearing up for Prolight + Sound Bangkok 2026 – a promising exhibition that will take place from September 30 to October 2, 2026 at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Center (BITEC). The event is organized by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. and VNU Exhibitions Asia Pacific organized and marked the premiere of a trade fair for the pro-AV and entertainment industry in the Thai capital. With this important cooperation, the organizers aim to provide international providers with easy access to the emerging ASEAN market, as CIMUNITY reports.

Bangkok has established itself as a central location in Southeast Asia, offering access to over 670 million consumers. Prolight + Sound Bangkok will serve as a platform for market entry, sales expansion and innovation presentations in the region. The participants benefit from Bangkok's status as an important tourism and MICE location with favorable entry conditions and good connections, complemented by VNU's local market knowledge and networks. This creates optimal conditions for manufacturers, suppliers and buyers in the areas of professional audio equipment, conference and AV equipment as well as lighting technology to exchange and grow, as Messe Frankfurt also notes.

A wide range of offers

With a dedicated zone for musical instruments and equipment, the event will be a hub for innovation and industry growth. Messe Frankfurt brings its global resources and industry expertise to the event, based on the success of the flagship trade fairs in Frankfurt and Guangzhou.

The premiere of Prolight + Sound Bangkok was announced during a press conference on October 22, 2025 at Music China. It was also emphasized how important this trade fair is for international suppliers who want to expand into the ASEAN region. The exchange of knowledge and the presentation of the latest technologies are the focus and promote networking between manufacturers and buyers.

The return to normality

In addition to preparations for the trade fair, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) confirms the city's return to normality after the Earthquake Incident Command Center was officially abolished. Key locations such as the QSNCC, partner hotels, airports, public transport and major shopping centers have passed comprehensive structural inspections, ensuring safety and confidence for future events, InfoComm Asia reports.

Overall, Bangkok appears to be ideally prepared to host Prolight + Sound Bangkok 2026. With a clear focus on networking, innovation and access to a broad market offering, the trade fair can be seen as a significant step for the pro-AV and entertainment industry in the region.
