Integrated Systems Europe (ISE), the largest AV and systems integration show in the world, is preparing for a record-breaking event in 2024 with the biggest show floor to date and what is expected to be the highest number of visitors to ever attend the premier event.
The ISE 2024 show floor will span eight halls of the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, and is 30% bigger than the 2023 event. In addition, the show is nearly sold out, cementing the show’s status as the leading event for AV and systems integration professionals.
Extensive content programme
The forthcoming event, which will take place from 30 January to 2 February 2024, will include the most extensive content programme to date, with nine conferences encompassing a wide range of significant issues for the AV and systems integration industries. The conference programming is completed by free Tech Talks in both English and Spanish.
The European / Latin American AV Summit (ELAS) is a new addition to the ISE conference schedule, bridging two continents through innovation. The two-day event will gather together government representatives and leaders from the AV sector from both regions. It aims to promote understanding and improve ties between individuals, groups, businesses, and countries. ELAS is supported by the Catalan Government and Barcelona City Council.
ISE 2024 will feature over 1300 exhibitors, with over 80 new companies showing at ISE for the first time. In addition, the event will include:
- 700 square metre Drone Arena.
- Plug and Play Stage, featuring compelling keynotes, panel discussions, fireside chats, and a platform where start-ups can present their solutions.
- ISE Time Tunnel, celebrating 20 years of ISE technological advancements.
- ISE Audio Museum, with Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon PA and WEM’s Pompeii PA, among many other audio history treasures.
- America’s Cup Team New Zealand land yacht displayed on the show floor.
- ISE Treasure Hunt to win prizes on the show floor.
- ISE Tech Tours which invite delegates behind the scenes at key Barcelona installations.
- Barcelona Extravaganza. ISE 2024 offers attendees a unique blend of business and leisure against the dynamic backdrop of Barcelona, in addition to the innovative technologies on show.
Expanding partnerships
ISE has also announced the expansion of its local and regional partnerships. AFIAL, the Spanish association for AV technology manufacturers and importers, will incorporate its AVL SUMMIT into the ISE agenda.
The Catalonia Pavilion in Congress Square will showcase a diverse selection of regional businesses while also hosting the Open Innovation Challenge technology matchmaking initiative, which is organised by ACCIÓ, the Catalan Government’s agency for business competitiveness. Barcelona City Council will be a major presence at ISE 2024 once again, with a large stand featuring local start-ups and the Catalan AV Cluster.
The Impulsa Talentum Foundation, the Catalan Sports Cluster, Casa Batlló, and the Joan Miró Museum are among the other collaborating partners. ISE will also support the Llum BCN Light Arts Festival, which will take place in Barcelona following the show.
Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) recently shared key highlights of the upcoming ISE 2024 exhibition. 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.”
