Integrated Systems Europe has announced that visitor registration for #ISE2019 is now open. The show, which takes place at the RAI Amsterdam on February 5-8 2019, features more exhibition space and a bigger conference programme than ever before. It is expected to draw numbers in excess of 2018’s totals of 80,923 registered attendees and 1,296 exhibitors.
#ISE2019 will this year, feature an extended Hall 5, approximately one-third larger than previously. In addition, it is spreading beyond the RAI by hosting a range of both new and established conferences at the nearby Hotel Okura.
Mike Blackman, Integrated Systems Events Managing Director, told us “The extension of Hall 5 and the opening of the new Metro station adjacent to the RAI Amsterdam will all contribute to the delivery of a great ISE experience to increased numbers of attendees and exhibitors.”
Leading trade associations and ISE co-owners AVIXA and CEDIA are building on the success of previous ISE shows by offering informative and thought-provoking content aimed at members and non-members alike.
AVIXA will host half-day ‘What’s Next’ conferences on the Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. These will explore AV integrated experiences in higher education and enterprise environments respectively. AVIXA will also be hosting free 20-minute FlashTrack education sessions at its stand.
AVIXA CEO David Labuskes said “AVIXA’s education programme for ISE will explore the trends at the forefront of contemporary AV design. We’ve partnered with esteemed organisations SCHOMS, EUNIS and the AV User Group to arm AV professionals with the insight needed to elevate their performance in the marketplace.”
CEDIA will present a full programme of professional development sessions. An All Access Pass will allow attendees to visit as many sessions as they wish. In addition, the association will host a series of CEDIA Talks at its stand, covering key issues in the residential installation market.
These offerings from AVIXA and CEDIA will form part of a wide range of professional development, education and thought leadership opportunities, promoted under the tagline ‘Learn, Discover, Be Inspired’. We understand that five of these conferences will be held at the Okura. New for #ISE2019 will be the Digital Cinema Summit ISE and AttractionsTECH by blooloop. Plus, there will be the debut of HTNG Insight Summit ISE which will focus on hotel and hospitality technology. Making their return will be XR Summit ISE and Digital Signage Summit ISE.
Conferences will also take place at the RAI. Monday February 4, will see the well established Smart Building Conference, which for 2019 takes as its theme ‘Making Smart Buildings, Making Buildings Smart’. Also on this day will be Audio Forum, organised by Italian media brand Connessioni. New for 2019 will be AGORA, presented by MONDO | STADIA – a conference focussing on stadium and sporting venue technology, with expert panels, case studies and keynote speakers from the industry.
A further innovation for #ISE2019 will be the Main Stage. Located in Hall 8 and designed and managed by ISE partner improve, this will feature thought-leadership content presented by ISE, AVIXA, CEDIA and AV Magazine, as well as hosting networking events.
In terms of travel to #ISE2019, locally attendees will be able to make use of the newly opened Metro line 52, which carries passengers from Amsterdam Centraal to the new Europaplein station, just in front of the RAI, in only eight minutes, and anyone travelling from London to Amsterdam will of course now be able to travel from London to Amsterdam-Centraal without having to change trains (there are two direct trains per day from London to Amsterdam-Centraal).
The average journey time between London and Amsterdam-Centraal is four hours and 22 minutes and the fastest journey time is three hours and 41 minutes.
