Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2015 returns to the Amsterdam RAI with an even
bigger and better show. Promising more than 50 000 people and over 950
exhibitors, ISE 2015 is set to present the largest AV tradeshow ever held in Europe,
from 10 to 12 February.
ISE 2015 will attract professionals from every link in the systems integration
value-chain, including manufacturers, distributors, dealers, contractors and
consultants. ISE also draws ever-growing numbers of end customers, from fields
such as education, sports, corporate facilities, hospitality and live events.
Professionals from more than 150 countries are expected to attend the show,
looking to network, pursue new business opportunities and see over 1 000 new
product launches. The show floor will occupy more than 36 000 square metres as
well as four dedicated show areas: Digital Signage; Residential Solutions; Unified
Communications; and the Smart Building area, which will showcase the latest
solutions in building automation and energy management.
Pre-show events
As in previous years, the ISE pre-show events will offer a motivating programme
including the return of the Smart Building Conference and the Audio Forum.
Following huge success at both ISE 2014 and PLASA London 2014, the Smart
Building Conference, a joint venture of ISE’s co-owners InfoComm International and
CEDIA, will take place at the RAI on 9 February 2015. The conference will include an
inspiring team of industry experts delivering presentations and panel discussions on
the hot topics surrounding the smart building industry.
Organised by media partner, Connessioni, the Audio Forum will return to host a full-
day educational programme consisting of case studies and seminars, aiming to
gather together the international audio community. Taking place on the eve of ISE,
the Audio Forum has been designed to increase the dialogue between audio
manufacturers and professionals operating in the AV marketplace.
New on the show floor
Following the success of ISE 2014, the ISE Theatres will return to the show floor
including the addition of one new theatre, ISE Unified Communications Theatre,
which will stage case-study presentations by manufacturers, product distributors,
systems integrators and end customers, focusing on the practical aspects of
implementing collaboration and communication systems within enterprises.
Meanwhile, the Residential Solutions Theatre will aim to broaden the market for
whole-house automation and intelligent building design, with non-technical
presentations showcasing real-world case studies. The Commercial Solutions
Theatre will concentrate on the end-customer benefits of systems integration in a
range of market verticals such as hospitality, healthcare, education, corporate and
government facilities.
Extra areas at the show have been created to benefit visitors and offer them a
chance to relax during the three busy show days. Extra catering areas in the Park
Foyer and Ruby Lounge, as well as the return of the Business Lounge, offering WiFi
access, massage and charging stations, will give visitors a much-needed
opportunity to take a break. Modern seating, international newspapers and TV
screens broadcasting international channels throughout the show days, the lounge
will be an informal yet professional environment in which visitors can work, relax
and network.
Owing to its popularity at ISE 2014, an extra Discovery Zone has been added to
offer new ISE Exhibitors the chance to participate in the show within a dedicated
showcase. In the same hall, a new US Pavilion will host stands from US exhibitors
looking to integrate into the European market. The pavilion is organised in
cooperation with the US Commercial Service, which is offering its support to the
participating exhibitors and networking events where interested companies can
meet them.
Professional Development
In addition to the Show Floor theatres, ISE’s co-owners CEDIA and InfoComm
International will present an even wider range of courses at ISE 2015. Both
associations will be offering more of their popular technical and business education,
with offers in place for early bird discounts as well as on-site certification, it allows
attendees to gain globally recognised qualifications without leaving the show venue.
