ISE Shatters Attendance Records Again – 80,000-plus In 2018

Back at a snowy world HQ after returning last night from Amsterdam, on the heels of a stupid-busy week in that city at Integrated Systems Europe. There’s no sign of a formal press release so far, but show director Mike Blackman was telling people on Friday that the show attendance surpassed 80,000. That’s up about 6,000 people from just a year earlier, and 15,000 from 2016. […]

The buzz around Integrated Systems Europe is that the show, which is sort of on now but really opens tomorrow, could push past 80,000 attendees. That’s a lot of people to squeeze into the RAI conference center in Amsterdam, even with a jumbo temporary tent out front and a new exhibit are that has taken out most of the food court outside the digital signage hall. […]

The digital signage industry has gradually come around to the idea that buyers are less interested in how things work than they are in what the things will do for them. You see that reflected in trade show booths that are increasingly putting the technology in context, like faux retail settings. The next step, logically, is to have real stores as the showrooms. […]
