Since it began in 2004, Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) – the world’s premier exhibition for professional audio visual (pro AV) and systems integration – has grown in size, strength and influence to become an industry-defining event. Every year, ISE brings together professionals, innovators and thought leaders across multiple industry sectors from around the world.

Celebrating 20 years of innovation
ISE’s journey from its humble beginnings in Geneva, to becoming the definitive event it is today has been a remarkable success story. Over the past two decades, ISE has served as a catalyst for groundbreaking technological advances, fostered meaningful connections and dialogue and propelled the systems integration industry to new heights.

“This special 20th anniversary edition of ISE will be our biggest ever event, with an expanded show floor which is already 17 per cent bigger than last year, two new halls, over 80 new exhibitors currently confirmed and several special features and attractions to mark the occasion, including an Anniversary Treasure Hunt. We also are planning a number of special activities throughout Barcelona, including extending our partnership with the Barcelona Llum lighting festival; watch out for more news in the coming weeks,” said Mike Blackman, managing director at Integrated Systems Events.

Discover the future of broadcast
Creating, storing and distributing your own video content has become significantly easier in recent years. The result is that numerous vertical sectors have embraced content production as a means of engaging with colleagues, cohorts and customers.

The Content Production & Distribution Zone in Hall 4 is where you’ll find solutions covering content acquisition, editing, management, storage and distribution; including cameras, camera tracking equipment, switchers, monitors, virtual sets, video networking solutions, intercoms and audio consoles. Also in this zone is a dedicated stage area for keynotes, presentations and discussions pertinent to content production and distribution.

To find out what the future holds for Broadcast, don’t miss the Content Production & Distribution Summit on Wednesday 31 January, 10:30 – 17:00, in location: C5.2. The Summit explores the strategies and technologies behind the creation, management and distribution of video content for promotional and informational purposes.

ISE 2024 will grow into Halls 1 and 4 of the Fira Barcelona Gran Vía. Hall 1 becomes the new home of Lighting & Staging, while Hall 4 provides a new location for Content Production & Distribution while also allowing the Multi-Technology Zone to be extended.
