PMSE (Program Making and Special Events) equipment has become, in particular, a fundamental element of our daily cultural life and wireless systems for audio, video and effect control are now essential tools for modern content production. 

They are employed in journalistic news coverage, sports events, theatres, by educational and cultural institutions, trade fairs, flm productions, live music events, conference centres, churches, sports clubs, etc.

PMSE is facing dramatic changes in its spectrum allocations worldwide and its coordination with other wireless services. On the other hand PMSE use and requirements regarding link availability, latency and quality are ever increasing. New techniques for spectrum management and transmission schemes are discussed in standardisation and regulation to meet these challenges.
In this workshop we would like to discuss with the participants the various types of PMSE applications, their spectrum use and impact of currently foreseeable changes in Radio Spectrum allocations. What decisions need to be taken at both a European and national level? 

PMSE’s current status and its future outlook is discussed. Studies on new spectra for compensation of lost spectrum at UHF will be presented. The driving forces behind increase of communications and fundamental limitations to consider from information theory perspective are discussed.

New technologies for PMSE, i.e. 5G technology, were studied in industry and standards to ensure a high availability and low latency of PMSE links in the future. We discuss the advantages and possible limitations of such new PMSE technologies.
In the following we will also have a look at the socioeconomic benefit generated by the cultural and creative industry relying on PMSE. The workshop will contain several panel rounds to allow for interactive discussion with the audience.
