Pre-show events


The pre-show events promise a motivating line-up including the return of the Smart Building Conference and the show's opening keynote and reception. After huge success at both ISE 2013 and in London in October this year, the Smart Building Conference, a joint venture of ISE's co-owners InfoComm International and CEDIA, will take place at the RAI on Monday 3 February. With an inspiring group of speakers and some of the industry's most notable experts on smart building design, similar themes from London will be explored and given a European dimension, with the objective of further developing the AV industry's role in making buildings smarter.


A new addition to the pre-show programme will be ISE's


Investor Showcase. Organised in partnership with investment specialists Go4Venture, the showcase will give participating companies the opportunity to present their technology and business propositions to a wide range of investors including private equity firms, venture capitalists and companies from both


inside and outside the ISE exhibitor base. Also taking place on Monday 3 February is an Audio Forum presented by media partner Connessioni. The forum will consist of a full day's programme, including two technology seminars as well as case studies presented by sponsor companies. The forum is designed to increase the dialogue between audio manufacturers and professionals operating in the AV marketplace.


New on the show floor


This year's show will include the addition of two theatre spaces on the show floor. The Residential Solutions Theatre, located in Hall 7, is aimed at broadening the market for whole-house automation and intelligent building design, with non-technical presentations showcasing real-world case studies. In Hall 8, the Commercial Solutions Theatre will concentrate on the end- customer benefits of systems integration in a range of market verticals such as hospitality, healthcare, education, corporate and government facilities.


Another new feature to the show is the ISE Business Lounge, which will give visitors a chance to rest, recharge their smart devices and catch up with business away from the busy pace of the show floor.
