The management company behind Integrated Systems Europe has pushed out more details about the hybrid ISE Live & Online program set for four cities in Europe in June. The event seems to be more about virtual than in-person, likely owing to the COVID-19 situation in Europe. Vaccines are happening, but so is community spread. […]
Integrated Systems Europe’s 2021 plans for a Barcelona show in June have been officially scaled back to a two-day hybrid event in that city, followed by three more June events in other European cities. Show managers Integrated Systems Events, and its co-owners AVIXA and CEDIA, have jointly announced ISE Live & Online, a series of local events in Barcelona, Munich, Amsterdam and London. […]
The company that organizes and runs Integrated Systems Europe says it is going ahead with the Jun 1-4 trade show in Barcelona, but has smoothed the way for exhibitors to cancel their plans for a physical exhibit. Between vaccination rates and dropping new case counts, Integrated Systems Events says it expects it will be possible to run an in-person event in Barcelona. […]
I just need a few more responses to that survey pushed out earlier in the week, asking about whether the industry needs a standalone replacement for the DSE trade show, or if the big pro AV trade shows suffice. I have 133 responses as I type this, and an online calculator I used suggested based on an industry of 12,000 people (semi-educated guess), I’d need 142 to have a valid sample. […]
Integrated Systems Europe 2021 has opened up registration today for the big pro AV trade show, still planned for early June in Barcelona. Registration for what’s currently billed as a hybrid live/virtual show must be done online, as there will be no on-site registration for the event, the idea presumably being that asking people to queue presents unnecessary health safety risks. […]
On the immediate heels of word today from AVIXA that it is shifting its InfoComm trade show from June to October this year, Integrated Systems Europe has released a statement saying it is staying the course with its plans for a June 2021 show. But, the show says it will make a final go/no go decision by March 1. […]
InfoComm 2021 has been shifted from June 12-18 to October 23-29 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, a move necessitated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. […]
Both InfoComm and Integrated Systems Europe sent out surveys in the last couple of days asking previous attendees (I assume) about their attitudes towards trade shows and travel as the pandemic wears on. There are several questions in the survey (did them both) about travel intentions, as well as interest and receptivity to things like hybrid and online-only trade shows. […]
Sigh. I realized today that in much more normal times I’d probably be heading out on my first flight leg over to Barcelona for Integrated Systems Europe. That trade show was, of course, postponed from next week’s planned dates and is now set for the start of June. […]
This a quick but interesting interview with Integrated Systems Europe show director Mike Blackman, where he suggests the intention remains to hold an in-person ISE in Barcelona, come the start of June. Speaking with Florian Rotberg of invidis, Blackman says of the top 100 exhibitor brands that turn up year on year, more than 80% say they still plan to have stands there. […]
The trade association AVIXA and the members-based Digital Signage Federation (DSF) have done a partnership that will see it bring expert-level digital signage education content to the global Pro AV group’s trade shows and events. […]
A final reminder that today is the end of September – yay, 2020 is gone in three more months!!! – and that means it is the last day for entry submissions to the global Digital Signage Awards, which 16:9 helps sponsor and guide. The UK team that puts together the awards has had to pivot, like everyone else, in the last six months. […]
Re-upping and refreshing this post from early summer about the global Digital Signage Awards, which 16:9 helps sponsor and guide. The submission window is starting to close, and with the demise of DSE and the COVID-driven reduction in marketing opportunities, entering awards makes more sense than ever. […]
AVIXA has tamped down speculation that the shift of Integrated Systems Europe to June 2021, from February, means its sister show InfoComm will inevitably shift from June to later in the year. Update: ISE will be June 1-4, 2021, while InfoComm is mid-June BREAKING @ISE_Show confirms 2021 show dates as 1-4 June 2021. […]
The Integrated Systems Europe organizers have now pushed out a formal statement, confirming the February event is postponed and the new date is targeted for some time in June 2021 in Barcelona. […]
