The Northern Audio & Visual Show in Penang is gearing up to make its mark on the international stage this coming April with its second edition.
In tandem with its global expansion, the event has undergone a slight name modification, and is now known as the Northern International Audio & Visual Show to better encapsulate its newfound international dimension. It will also be an annual event moving forward.
Organised by Gryphon Production and supported by Penang Convention & Exhibition Bureau (PCEB), this B2B2C exhibition covers various aspects of audio and visual experiences. This year’s edition will feature 25 exhibits encompassing home theatre systems, portable music equipment for high-quality tunes on the go, and a car audio show.
This year’s event will take place at Amari SPICE Penang, from April 26-28, and aside from the domestic market, exhibitors from South-east Asia and the US are expected to feature.
PCEB’s CEO, Ashwin Gunasekeran, said at a recent press conference in Kuala Lumpur, that the bureau is focused on attracting more B2B exhibitions and expanding the industry’s scale and scope.
“We aim to create a robust platform that not only showcases the latest advancements in various industries, but also attracts a diverse range of participants, thus fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange and economic growth within the region,” he stated.
Moreover, with the anticipated opening of the Penang Waterfront Convention Centre in 1Q2025, the new convention centre will be able to handle a wider range of events from large-scale exhibitions to conferences.
