Registration opened Thursday for Integrated Systems Europe 2021, making its debut at Fira de Barcelona, Gran Vía this June. Coming at a time of anticipation from an industry that is keen to “get back to work” in the second half of the year, it will incorporate both live and online content.

Integrated Systems Events Managing Director Mike Blackman said, “During the challenging times of the past nine months the importance of ISE to the global AV and systems integration business has never been more apparent. Many exhibitors and attendees view the show as the catalyst for business recovery. People rely on ISE for inspiration, for finding new suppliers, keeping up with industry innovations, building lasting relationships, and for education. While ISE 2021 will be a little different this year, it will still provide all these opportunities and we look forward to reconnecting with you.”

Barcelona provides an exciting setting for exhibitors and attendees. ISE’s priority is to deliver a safe and secure event for all. Along with its co-owners AVIXA and CEDIA, ISE has been working in close participation with the City of Barcelona, the venue and relevant authorities. The Fira de Barcelona received the “Safe Travels” stamp for its prevention and safety protocol against the transmission of COVID-19, merited by the World Travel Tourism Council (WTTC). Safety measures have been developed with the specialist risk management consultancy Aon and the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. For visitors, ISE has recently published “A Guide to Safe Visiting,” outlining the safe practice protocols in place at the venue. This is available from the ISE website.

With a show floor featuring providers of AV technology and solutions, nine dedicated Technology Zones, four days of industry-leading content, keynote speakers, professional development programs, conferences and a suite of new audio demo rooms — ISE is ready for business. Once again, KNX will be the event’s Presenting Show Partner.

With plenty of space and no restrictions on stand size, ISE 2021 will feature nine Technology Zones, including two new Zones for 2021. As well as Audio, Digital Signage and DOOH, Education Technology, Residential, Smart Building, Unified Communications and VR/AR/XR, Zones will include:

• Broadcast and Content Creation: For many years, ISE has presented solutions for broadcast and content creation for use in permanent installations and in live events. Now, a dedicated Zone will showcase solutions including cameras, microphones, audio consoles, production switchers, intercoms, video interfaces, processors and KVM switches.
• Live Events: The Zone will present solutions for small, temporary venues right up to major stadium events. The new area will showcase lighting and lighting control, rigging and staging equipment, motion tracking and holography.

Preregistration will be required for ISE 2021, as there will be no on-site registration. More information and updates can be found on the ISE website.
