UCC — Volume 10, Issue 2 — January 24, 2019
Latest headlines: Gary Kayye on what you can’t miss at ISE, Mark Coxon on three AV companies to watch in 2019, plus lots of ISE UCC news

January 24, 2019 | Volume: 10 | Issue: 2

 

ISE has dedicated an entire convention center hall to at their annual mega-AV tradeshow just to UCC. And, they filled it up — even having to go to an overflow situation.

Hall 11 is where you need to start your visit to the annual AV expo next month as it’s 100 percent UCC. This is where nearly every collaboration board company, microphone array for small rooms, huddle room system and meeting room camera manufacturer is located. In addition, it’s where you’ll see the products from really creative and innovative companies like Nureva (known for both their SPAN and HDL-300 audio system), Baanto, ClearOne, DisplayNote, streaming video company Epiphan, the best touch-screen technology FlatFrog, NewLine, Matrox, Oblong and TrueConf. The overflow is in Hall 13 (where AVOCOR is) and Hall 15 (where Logitech is located).

And, if you aren’t going, DO NOT WORRY. We are — and we will have over 20 reporters covering the event. So, you can just point your browser to www.rAVePubs.com/ISE2019 and see all the news that EVERY company at ISE publishes. And, we will, literally, go to every single booth and shoot product videos on every new product launched at ISE — all 1,200 booths/stands. Plus, we will be recording over 40 podcasts from there and blogging. All on our dedicated ISE Microsite — no one covers ISE as well as us — in fact, our coverage is more than the second, third and forth and fifth-ranked AV publications, combined. Plus, our social media generates over 30 percent of the total show engagement. So, if you aren’t going to Amsterdam, we have you covered.

We will also be Tweeting, Instagramming, Facebooking and posting on LinkedIn all day, every day from ISE. So, if you don’t follow us yet, check us out on social @rAVePubs.

COLUMNS

 

+ Three AV Companies to Watch in 2019 [Mark Coxon]

I have tried to avoid writing one of these blogs. I resisted the temptation to wrap up my top moments of 2018. I stayed clear of making tech predictions for 2019. I even managed not to comment on others' top moment lists and predictions. All in all, I was doing pretty well… until yesterday.

+ ISE 2019 Simplifies Show with Six Tech Zones — You NEED to Read This Before Going [Gary Kayye]

There are 15 halls at ISE 2019 in Amsterdam 5-8 February and show management has worked year after year to try to find a way to help visitors, well, visit. It’s LITERALLY impossible to go to the show and stay all four days and see the entire show floor. But for those of you lucky enough to be going to Amsterdam, ISE has divided the 15 halls into six tech zones.
