Integrated Systems Europe (ISE), the largest AV and systems integration show in the world, has shared the key highlights of the upcoming ISE 2024 exhibition, which is taking place in Barcelona from 30 January to 2 February.
ISE is the most comprehensive exhibition for the professional AV and systems integration industries and has been the trusted forum for top global AV businesses to announce and exhibit new solutions for the past twenty years.
With the 2024 edition, the event will go above and beyond once again with its largest edition to date.
Mike Blackman, managing director, Integrated Systems Events, says: “Without a doubt, ISE is ‘Your Destination for Innovation’, and we will prove that this is not just a claim. With more than 1200 confirmed exhibitors and the biggest ever show floor space, attendees will have plenty of opportunities to discover groundbreaking innovations at ISE 2024.
“In addition, our comprehensive content programme gives a platform to more than 100 of the industry’s most innovative representatives. And don’t miss our keynotes. These creative minds will impressively demonstrate how AV is shaping our daily lives.”
Event highlights
Attendees can look forward to events and exhibits at ISE 2024 which include:
Seven extended technology zones
ISE 2024 features a diverse range of the most innovative businesses serving all interests. Exhibitors will include audio, content production and distribution, digital signage and DooH, lighting and staging, multi-technology, residential and smart buildings, unified communications, and education technology.
ISE has expanded once more and will now occupy Halls 1 and 4 at Fira Barcelona Gran Vía. Lighting & Staging can now be found in Hall 1, while Content Production & Distribution will move to Hall 4 and the Multi-Technology and Lighting & Staging Zones will be expanded.
Congress Square and the Discovery Zone
This year’s Discovery Zone in Congress Square has been significantly extended. More than 70 new companies to ISE since 2022 will be exhibiting their innovative offerings, ensuring that delegates will discover new and unexpected solutions that can transform their projects.
The Catalonia Pavilion in Congress Square hosts local AV enterprises while also emphasising business growth opportunities. It will also be the site of the annual ISE Open Innovation Challenge, presented for the third time by ACCIÓ (the Catalonia Trade & Investment Agency) and Enterprise Europe Network. The Challenge is a hybrid matchmaking service that connects technology suppliers with Catalan businesses that intend to buy solutions.
The Catalan Audiovisual Cluster and the Barcelona City Council, which will host local start-ups, are also situated in Congress Square.
A brand-new programme for ISE 2024 will be hosted by Plug and Play, the foremost innovation platform that links businesses, startups, venture capital firms, academic institutions, and governmental organisations.
The Plug and Play Stage in Congress Square will offer a four-day programme, with keynote addresses and panel discussions on innovation-related subjects during the morning sessions, and a focus on startups in the afternoons. Innovative, forward-thinking businesses will have the chance to pitch to investors and present their offerings live on stage.
ISE content programme
Delegates can gain insight from the most pioneering minds in the industry at nine specialised conferences held during the event. They can also take advantage of a variety of immersive demonstrations, thought-provoking panel discussions, and workshops. Free-to-attend sessions will be taking place throughout the day alongside the conferences.
This year, as part of ISE’s unique approach, KUDO is supplying a real-time, AI-powered translation and transcription service for the conferences, which guarantees that the material is accessible to as many people as possible.
ISE Tech Tours
ISE 2024 Tech Tours are organised in partnership with the Catalan Audiovisual Cluster, and offer an exclusive opportunity to see cutting-edge innovations from the ISE show floor in operation. This year’s schedule has been extended to provide even more experiences. Although there are limited places available for the official tour, numerous locations in Barcelona are also open to the public.
Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) recently announced the schedule for ISE 2024. The conferences will feature renowned thought leaders and subject matter experts in a variety of fields, and will take place in the CC rooms on the upper walkway at Fira Barcelona.
