MIR, the best of audio-video-lighting technology for shows and events


From live-entertainment technologies to information-technology technologies, MIR is the event of the Italian Exhibition Group that brings together all the major players in the entertainment and entertainment industry. The 2023 edition confirmed that the sector is on the rise again, the numbers say it: +12% attendance compared to the pre-pandemic edition of 2019. The event brings together the major players of Light, Sound, Visual, Integrated System & Broadcasts. A prominent attraction for the public this year in Rimini were the two stages equipped with audio, video and light technologies exhibited at the Fair and where musical bands took turns. The other was the Sound Arena where the “Contest Colonne” came to life, for a high-quality comparative listening of vertically developed audio systems. Many solutions are proposed to create virtual studios, or training rooms for museums, and obviously lights-audio-screens for the best experience for large live shows.
