Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) has announced that it is expecting to present its largest show floor ever — spanning eight halls at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via — at the upcoming 2024 AV and systems integration exhibition that begins in late January.
The organization states that ISE 2024’s total show floor will be 30 percent larger than last year, and there’s also anticipation for the highest number of visitors ever recorded at the event. The program includes nine conferences covering a range of topics imporant to the AV and systems integration industry. Free Tech Talks, in both English and Spanish, round out the conference.
The new European/Latin American AV Summit (ELAS) is a two-day event will bring together government representatives and AV business leaders from both regions to foster understanding and to strengthen links between individuals, organizations, companies, and countries. ELAS is supported by the Catalan Government and Barcelona City Council.
More than 80 companies will be making their debut at ISE 2024, and the event will also feature:
— A 700 square meter Drone Arena;
— The ISE Audio Museum featuring Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon PA and Pompeii PA by WEM joined by other facets of audio history;
— America’s Cup Team New Zealand land yacht on the show floor;
— ISE Time Tunnel marking 20 years of technology developments;
— Plug and Play Stage with a series of keynotes, panel discussions and “fireside chats” and the opportunity for start-ups to showcase their developments on stage;
— ISE Tech Tours that will take visitors behind the scenes at noted Barcelona installations;
— ISE Treasure Hunt to uncover prizes on the show floor.
In addition, AFIAL, the Spanish association that brings together manufacturers and importers of audiovisual technology, is integrating its AVL SUMMIT into the ISE program. The Catalonia Pavilion in Congress Square will present a range of companies from the region as well as hosting the Open Innovation Challenge technology matchmaking program organized by ACCIÓ, the Catalan Government’s agency for business competitiveness. And, the Barcelona City Council will again be a presence at ISE 2024; its extensive stand will present local start-ups and the Catalan AV Cluster.
Other collaboration partners include the Impulsa Talentum Foundation, the 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 just after the show.
