Registration has now opened for the 2019 of Integrated Systems Europe – which runs Feb. 5-9 at the RAI Amsterdam. The massive pro AV trade show – which has a big digital signage component – is expected to draw numbers in excess of 2018’s totals of 80,923 registered attendees and 1,296 exhibitors. […]
The nine-year-old Digital Signage Awards is stepping up its game for 2019, on the heels of 2018 awards that had, for the first time, a physical event. The 2018 awards were held during ISE, immediately after Invidis’ Digital Signage Summit. The 2019 event will again be held during ISE, but this time at a lovely old building in central Amsterdam. […]
ISE had a press conference today in Barcelona, outlining its reasoning and plans behind moving the big pro AV show in 2021 to Barcelona. The show organizers laid out the thinking – notably the need to have a space large enough and destination attractive enough to keep growing the show. […]
Integrated Systems Europe is moving to Barcelona, Spain starting in 2021 – leaving the lovely but damp, gray and chilly February climes of Amsterdam. The new and permanent home will be the Gran Via, part of the Fira de Barcelona exhibition complex. The decision, just announced, comes after 18 months of research into the viability of remaining at the RAI Amsterdam, says ISE. […]
Hat Tip to Digital Signage Pulse for picking up on this … Samsung’s public information display group, presumably the European wing, did a survey with its digital signage industry panel following ISE 2018, asking 40 or so industry people what they saw and what excited them at the show. […]
Integrated Systems Europe has pushed out a comprehensive report that looks at the characteristics of attendees of the giant pro-AV trade show a few week weeks ago. The final headcount was 80,923, 59,098 attendees and another 20,207 people working at exhibits. There were also 1,618 press,VIPs and speakers. […]
The Digital Signage Awards folks sent along a series of photos from the ceremony held three weeks ago in Amsterdam. The event looked quite nice, and I liked the glass trophy-thingies, which could double as anchors or deadly weapons. The things were solid. […]
Last week’s Integrated Systems Europe attracted almost almost 81,000 people, a massive foot traffic bump and one that spread across four days. The number of registered visitors to the Amsterdam show reached 80,923, an increase of 10.3% on the 2017 edition. […]
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. […]
Finally spent some substantial time in Hall 8 at Integrated Systems Europe, where many of the digital signage vendors are located. That said, there are vendors – particularly smaller ones – in sometimes odd spots, the product of late bookings or skimpy budgets. […]
For, I think, the 47th year in a row, Adrian from DailyDOOH interviewed industry luminaries – and me – for a video series at the NEC booth, this time above ISE’s teeming hordes in a 2nd level cafe/meeting area that had very nice people bringing much needed, nicely made coffees to weary attendees. The full list of interviews – there are many – is here. […]
Tuesday was reported as seeing record crowds, and I swear it was busier Wednesday. Have not seen the numbers but it definitely didn’t seem to drop off. I know there are numerous people just coming in starting today, as the ISE crowds are supposed to slow after the first two days. […]
I saw a tweet from someone this morning that suggested Day 1 of ISE pulled in 32,000 people, and it felt like that in most of the halls. Crazy busy. Jammed walkways. […]
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. […]
I’m headed back to Amsterdam this weekend and will be at Integrated Systems Europe all next week, so posts may be spotty. I have a few booth tours set up but mostly I avoid that sort of thing, as appointments very quickly chew up all of my time. […]
