02 Come to GETshow，See the amazing show!

Come to GETshow, it's more than just "going to see an exhibition"! Over a hundred phenomenal, immersive light shows await you! GETshow has also partnered with top industry teams and leading product technologies to create multiple large-scale, original, themed immersive light shows during the exhibition——

Cshow 「Wash」in Hall 17.2, A9, in Area D, deeply integrates "technology" and "art." Amidst the dance of light and shadow and the rhythm of music, it offers a multi-sensory experience of the ultimate charm of sound, light, and electricity! The 2026 annual theme, 「Wash」 was born from this. The word "Wash" encapsulates the core transformation in the relationship between light and shadow—from the previous active pursuit of light to an immersive experience of being completely "enveloped in light," achieving the gentlest symbiosis between humanity and light.

The " TOP SHOW" at D7 in Hall 5.2 of Area A has been fully upgraded to version 2.0. With "Core" as its theme, it is deeply empowered by artificial intelligence to create an immersive aesthetic space of over 2,000 square meters that integrates forward-looking creative design, top-notch performance equipment display, avant-garde art performances and industry exchanges.

"TOP SHOW" uses the "Curve Engine" as its core creative principle, systematically integrating professional performance equipment such as lighting, sound, CNC mechanical devices, and LED screens to construct a highly impactful audiovisual effect and immersive experience. Here, the audience is no longer merely "spectators," but "experiencers" enveloped in sound, light, and electricity, maximizing the atmosphere. This project represents a deep integration and collaborative creation of industry resources. It is not only a practice of industry chain collaboration but also a vivid portrayal of the extension of the performing arts equipment manufacturing industry towards service ends such as system integration and content creation.

03 Authoritative competitions, witnessing the rise of new stars in the industry!

Empowering industry talent development through industry platforms, the "GETshow Cup" 2025 Youth Stage Lighting Designer Competition and the "GETshow Cup" 2025 China Sound Engineer Competition, initiated by the Industry Association of South China Entertainment Equipment(SCEE）and co-organized with the China Institute of Stage Design, attracted over 200 participants, including students from universities across the country and young lighting engineers working nationwide.
