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. Taking place at the RAI Amsterdam on 5-8 February 2019, ISE is the must-attend event for electrical retailers keen to find out about the residential smart home installation space, or to see the latest digital signage innovations for retail. The smart home is


becoming


for most people today, with the number of connected technology


solutions and fully


integrated homes rising fast. This growth creates a lucrative market for electrical retailers, who can benefit from the opportunities that a professional installation arm can add to their business. Retailers attending ISE 2019 can immerse themselves in this market, take advantage of professional development education offered by CEDIA, one of the co- owners of the event, and see new AV products, purpose-designed for this installation sector.


ISE 2019 is expected to draw numbers in excess of 2018’s record totals of 80,000 and in response to the growing demand for exhibition space at the RAI Amsterdam, the show will feature an extended Hall 5, approximately one-third larger than previously. To help attendees to locate the


products, services and companies of greatest interest to them, there will be six Technology Zones on the show floor, including a Residential Solutions Zone, the primary area of interest for electrical retailers. This Zone will allow attendees to discover the real-world benefits of home entertainment, building automation and energy management systems in a residential environment, with unique insight into the latest home technology innovations. Key products and services across these fields provide visitors with a unique opportunity to seek out and compare the latest and greatest

Located in Hall 9, this area of the show is ideally suited to installers looking for new integration


solutions. Presenting


Show Partner KNX will be demonstrating the ability of the open control protocol, alongside market- leading commercial manufacturers. Further to this, the show provides


a great opportunity for electrical retailers to explore new strategies and products for the physical store environment. There is a dedicated Digital


Signage & DooH section to the show (Hall 8) that presents the latest signage, display and wayfinding technology – crucial in maximising the customer journey. The show also features the Digital Signage Summit ISE, which explores the trends and latest developments in digital signage. Audio-visual technology is increasingly being used to create engaging digital experiences in-store and can

Aside from the wealth of products on display, ISE plays host to leading smart home training, education and events on a variety of topics. On 4 February, the Smart Building Conference returns to ISE, which for 2019 takes as its theme ‘Making Smart Buildings, Making Buildings Smart.’ This informative, twin track event is designed for professionals working in smart homes as well as corporate environments, exploring the latest technologies and business strategies from the world’s leading smart building experts and thought leaders. The one-day conference will show how retailers can make existing buildings smart, and how providing this service can benefit their business and customer relations.
