Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) will return to Barcelona (January 30 – February 2, 2024) as a comprehensive exhibition for the ProAV and systems integration sectors.
“Without a doubt, ISE is ‘Your Destination for Innovation,’ and we will prove that this is not just a claim. With more than 1200 confirmed exhibitors and the biggest ever show floor space, attendees will have plenty of opportunities to discover groundbreaking innovations at ISE 2024. In addition, our comprehensive content program gives a platform to more than 100 of the industry’s most innovative representatives. And don’t miss our keynotes. These creative minds will impressively demonstrate how AV shapes our daily lives,” said Mike Blackman, managing director of Integrated Systems Events.
Key highlights for ISE 2024 include:
Seven Extended Technology Zones: ISE 2024 says it offers a broad spectrum of innovative companies that cater to every interest. From audio, content production and distribution, digital signage, and DooH to lighting and staging, multi-technology, residential and smart building, unified communications, and education technology, you’ll find everything under one roof. ISE has grown again and will now fill Halls 1 and 4 at Fira Barcelona Gran Vía. Hall 1 becomes the new home for lighting and staging. At the same time, Hall 4 provides a new location for content production and distribution while also allowing the multi-technology and lighting and staging zones to be extended.
Congress Square and the Discovery Zone: This year’s significantly expanded Discovery Zone in Congress Square is a must-visit. More than 70 companies new to ISE since 2022 will showcase their innovations, ensuring visitors can encounter new and unexpected solutions.
The Catalonia Pavilion in Congress Square hosts local businesses active in the AV industry and highlights business growth opportunities. It is also the location of the ISE Open Innovation Challenge, hosted for the third year by ACCIÓ (the Catalonia Trade and Investment Agency) and Enterprise Europe Network. The Challenge is a hybrid matchmaking service that connects technology providers with Catalan corporations looking to purchase solutions. Also located in Congress Square is the Barcelona City Council, which will host local start-ups, as well as the Catalan Audiovisual Cluster.
NEW for ISE 2024, Plug and Play, the platform that connects startups, corporations, venture capital firms, universities and government agencies, will host a four-day program. Morning sessions at the Plug and Play Stage will kick off with keynotes and panel sessions on innovation topics, while the afternoons will be all about startups. Forward-thinking companies will be able to showcase their solutions on stage and make pitches to investors. Located in Congress Square, the Plug and Play Stage will be a chance to “see the future in action.”
ISE Content Program: With nine specialist conferences during the show, visitors can learn from the “most innovative minds in the industry,” enjoying a host demonstrations, panel discussions and workshops. Free-to-attend sessions will also occur throughout the day at ISE, running concurrently with the conferences.
