By VARINDIA - 2015-03-01

ISE has extended the duration of the exhibition in 2016. After announcing in December that Integrated Systems Europe 2015 would be the last three-day event before a move to four days in 2016, attendance at this year’s show comprehensively demonstrated why ISE has made the move to extend the duration of the exhibition. In what was Europe’s largest-ever AV and systems integration exhibition 59,350 registered attendees came to the show between 10th and 12th February at the Amsterdam, RAI. This represents an increase of 8,347 registered attendees (16.4%) at ISE 2014. ISE 2015 also offered visitors a wide range of personal development and training programmes provided by ISE co-owners InfoComm International and CEDIA. These sessions attracted over 700 people in total. Both associations also contributed to the three vibrant Showfloor Solutions Theatres dedicated to Residential, Commercial and Unified Communications. Over 3,000 appreciative visitors attended 90 sessions presented by ISE exhibitors “ISE has become the most important platform for the CEDIA channel outside of North America and the 2015 event was the best edition yet. ISE’s pre-show events programme kicked off on 9th February with the Smart Building Conference and Audio Forum both drawing their highest-ever attendance figures. For the next year, exhibitor stand space re-bookings for the new four-day show are at an all-time high. When the exhibition doors closed on 12th February, bookings for the 2016 event stood at 41,200 square metres sold space. This represents 106% of the total sold space for the 2015 event and 94% of the total space available for 2016. ISE 2015 saw increased exhibitor space provided by the addition of the Diamond Lounge. This expansion will continue at ISE 2016 with the opening of the Amtrium. The next Integrated Systems Europe will take place at the Amsterdam RAI from 9th to 12th February, 2016.
