Event preview ISE 2019 to showcase the finest in international AV


All the connections you need at the world’s largest systems integra- tion exhibition


The 2019 edition of Integrated Systems Europe is set to be the largest in the show’s history, with more exhibitors, more floor space, more visitors and more events than ever before.


ISE 2019 takes place at the RAI Amsterdam from Tuesday 5 to Friday 8 February 2019, pre- ceded by conferences and the Opening Address on Monday 4 February. The five days are ex- pected to attract over 80,000 registered attendees and 1,300 exhibitors. In response to the increasing demand for exhi- bition space, there will once again be 15 halls on the floor plan; in addition, Hall 5 will be extended, increasing its size by a third. To help attendees to locate the products, services and com- panies of greatest interest to them, there will be six Tech- nology Zones on the show floor: Audio and Live Events, Digital Signage & DooH, Education Technology, Residential Solu- tions, Smart Building, Unified Communications. The conference and education programme at ISE 2019 is be- ing presented with the tagline ‘Learn, Discover, Be Inspired’. For the first time, ISE will be extending its reach beyond the RAI throughout the show, with the nearby 5-star Hotel Okura playing host to five conferences over four days. Free shuttle buses will operate between the RAI and the Okura throughout each day.


The XR Summit will explore the latest B2B technologies, solutions and business oppor-


tunities around Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality. Digital Signage Summit ISE will give unparalleled insights into trends and strategies of the digital signage industry’s brightest, most talked about and controversial minds. The new half-day Digital Cinema Summit,


organised in con-


junction with Digital Cinema Report, will explore how digital technology is revolutionising how we produce, distribute and experience films.


Another new addition for 2019, the full-day HTNG In- sight Summit ISE will dis- cuss current issues and cut- ting-edge research findings from the world of hotel and hospitality technology. It is or- ganised by ISE and trade asso- ciation Hospitality Technology Next Generation.


And on the Friday morning, AttractionsTECH by blooloop will be dedicated to explor- ing the latest technologies, solutions and business strate- gies that are transforming the theme park and attractions business. At the RAI, the Smart Build- ing Conference, returning for its ninth edition, will take the theme ‘Making Buildings Smart, Making Smart Build- ings’ – exploring the twin themes of retrofitting smart technology into existing build-


ings, and creating the most so- phisticated and intelligent new buildings. Taking place on the Monday, it will be followed by the ISE Opening Address. Organised by Italian media brand Connessioni, Audio Fo- rum will once again bring to- gether the pro audio and instal- lation business communities, with a focus on integrated tech- nologies and workflows. ISE co-owner AVIXA will host two half-day ‘What's Next’ conferences, looking at AV in- tegrated experiences in high- er education and enterprise environments. The education conference, on the Tuesday af- ternoon, will explore innovative ideas and best-case examples in the design of learning and collaboration spaces. It is joint- ly organised by AVIXA, SCHOMS and EUNIS. AVIXA’s enterprise conference,


on the Wednesday afternoon, is once again produced in partner- ship with the AV User Group. It will explore how focusing on the customer experience can create real value in organisations. The association will also be hosting Flash Tracks through- out ISE 2019 – free 20-minute education


sessions, designed


for AV professionals of all ex- perience levels, focusing on hot industry topics. CEDIA, ISE’s other owner, will present a full professional de-


velopment programme across the four days of ISE 2019. Delegates wishing to attend multiple sessions may consider purchasing an All Access Pass, which will enable them to at- tend as many sessions as they wish.


On its stand, the Association will be hosting CEDIA Talks – 20-minute sessions in which some of the custom installation industry’s best minds will offer insights into emerging trends and new technologies. An innovation for 2019 is the Main Stage, located in Hall 8, which will be a specially de- signed theatre and presenta- tion space. It will present free sessions produced by ISE, CE- DIA, AVIXA and AV Magazine as well as hosting a number of special events.
