ISE 2024 to be staged ‘with record-breaking show floor’

Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2024 is set to be the exhibition’s largest-ever event and is on the verge of selling out.

ISE 2024’s total show floor will be 30% larger than last year, taking up eight halls of the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via.

The upcoming event, which takes place on 30 January-2 February 2024, will offer ISE’s most comprehensive content programme. Nine conferences will cover a wide range of topics critical to the AV and systems integration industry. Free Tech Talks, in English and Spanish, round off the conference programme.

New to the conference programme is the two-day European/Latin American AV Summit (ELAS), which will bring together government representatives and AV business leaders from both regions to foster understanding, and to strengthen links. ELAS is supported by the Catalan Government and Barcelona City Council.

As well as innovations from more than 1,300 exhibitors – including 80-plus companies making their ISE debut – next year’s event will offer:

• A Drone Arena measuring 700 sq metres.
• The ISE Audio Museum, featuring Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon PA, and Pompeii PA by WEM, as well as many other gems of audio history.
• The New Zealand America’s Cup Team to land their yacht on the show floor.
• The ISE Time Tunnel, marking 20 years of technology developments at the event.
• A Plug and Play Stage, with a series of impactful keynotes, panel discussions and fireside chats, as well as the opportunity for start-ups to showcase their solutions on stage.
• ISE Tech Tours that will take visitors behind the scenes at key Barcelona installations.
• An ISE Treasure Hunt with prizes on the show floor.

There will also be more collaborations with local and regional partners. AFIAL, the Spanish association that brings together manufacturers and importers of AV, will integrate its AVL SUMMIT into the ISE programme.

The Catalonia Pavilion in Congress Square will feature a broad range of companies from the region, as well as hosting the Open Innovation Challenge technology matchmaking programme, organised by Accio, the Catalan government’s agency for business competitiveness.

Barcelona City Council will once again have a strong presence at ISE, with an extensive stand hosting local start-ups and the Catalan AV Cluster.

Other collaboration partners include the Impulsa Talentum Foundation, Catalan Sports Cluster, Casa Batlló and the Joan Miró Museum. ISE will also be sponsoring the Llum BCN Light Arts Festival, which takes place in Barcelona immediately after the show.
