French term or phrase: collectivités du public address

I'm really baffled by this. I know what a public address system is, but what could "collectivités du public address" possibly mean? This is from a description of a trade show specializing in point-of-sale communications.

La 2e édition de l'unique RV professionnel de la communication & de l'affichage dynamiques se tient en parallèle de (name of trade show): une synergie pertinente et efficace pour vous permettre de bénéficier de la présence des décideurs issus des lieux recevant
du public & des administrations, des villes & des **collectivités locales et du public address**.

Thanks,
Karen

Notes to answerer

Asker: I see their point and it does make more sense in this context because public address systems don't have much to do with what they're talking about. Thanks for changing the translation.

Explanation:
I agree with Philippe's logic, but I think they are talking about communications agencies/organisations rather than systems and equipment.
