What a show! I am proud to say we sent reporters from rAVe [PUBS] to every single booth at ISE 2024 earlier this month to shoot videos of new (and returning!) products. We amassed a cache of more than 2,100 videos, and we posted them all on our (beautiful) ISE microsite, which also includes photos, podcasts and 400+ new product news stories.
Every year since we’ve been doing this, we’ve given out awards for the “Best of the Best.” The best of everything we saw — and here they are. There’s also a YouTube playlist featuring our winners at the very bottom of this story. (You can click play and scroll through which video you’d like to watch on the top right of the video window.)
If you’re an integrator and see something here that you aren’t selling yet, consider contacting these companies! Likewise, if you’re an end user reading this, consider adding these to your future rooms — these companies won for a reason!
