Integrated Systems Europe (ISE), the largest AV and systems integration show in the world, will be taking place in Barcelona, Spain, from 10 – 13 May 2022. This year’s event will feature new conferences, alongside a packed show floor.
“I’m delighted, and honoured, to be standing here today five years since Integrated Systems Events, and its co-owners AVIXA and CEDIA, decided to relocate the Integrated Systems Europe show to Barcelona,” said Integrated Systems Events managing director, Mike Blackman, at a recent press conference.
“After 16 years in Amsterdam, it was time for us to find a new home for our show, and in just two weeks’ time, ISE 2022 will open its doors at the Gran Vía, Fira de Barcelona.”
Over 800 exhibitors
ISE 2022 will be an opportunity for professionals from across the AV space to discover the latest solutions and innovations, developed for the commercial and residential market sectors. The show floor will feature more than 800 exhibitors, divided into six Technology Zones across five halls of the venue.
From the commercial space, attendees can find out more about the latest AV technologies for sectors such as Learning, Live Events, Performance, Retail, Conferencing and Collaboration, Security and Healthcare, and more. Brands on show at the event include Alfalite, Barco, Christie, Google, KNX, LANG, Microsoft, Panasonic, Samsung, Shure, Sony and Zoom.
Meanwhile, the residential market will also be represented, with products including the newest flat-panel TVs, in-ceiling speakers, projectors, projection screens, cinema rooms, lighting, and security systems. Artcoustic, Crestron, L-Acoustics, KNX, Rako Controls, Sony, and Storm Audio are just a few of the exhibitors attending.
Conference, networking and more
In addition to the trade show floor, attendees can also enjoy networking opportunities and events, alongside a five-day conference programme that features more than 150 experts from across the sector. Sessions will explore topics such as retail technology, control rooms, live events, education, and more.
AVIXA and CEDIA will be providing professional development opportunities, both within the ISE 2022 venue and in the city.
“AVIXA is proud to be a co-owner of ISE with CEDIA and we could not be more excited with our new home in Barcelona”, says David Labuskes, CEO of AVIXA. “We are looking forward to continuing our strong partnership with the city of Barcelona, as well as strengthening our relationship with the Fira de Barcelona.
“These relationships were formed before the pandemic and strengthened during it. I’m sure they will only grow stronger as we look toward an amazing future for the AV industry and the ISE show.”
Daryl Friedman, Global President and CEO of CEDIA adds: “In-person trade shows are truly a cornerstone of our industry and have been sorely missed these past two years. Yet at the same time, people around the world have discovered that their homes, through beautifully integrated technology, can be a central hub for every aspect of their lives – so the timing of ISE’s return couldn’t be better.
“What we’ve prepared for the CEDIA conference at ISE will satisfy the live education and connection we’ve all been craving since early 2020. So many people have told me that ISE will be their first in-person show in more than two years. Their excitement is palpable as is mine. I can’t wait to see you all in Barcelona.”
ISE recently revealed more details of the schedule for this year’s event. Highlights include keynote addresses from digital artist Refik Anadol and Illuminarium CEO Alan Greenberg, as well as a 650sqm virtual reality experience art installation at the Fira Gran Via and a projection mapping spectacular at the Plaça d’Espanya.
