ISE: LIVE from Barcelona
Posted on Jan 24, 2024 by FEED Staff
We’re heading to Spain for our first-ever event, and it couldn’t be a better fit. With ISE showcasing the best in AV and integrated systems – and also celebrating its 20th anniversary – there’s plenty to see and do
We at LIVE are making our official debut at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) this winter! From 30 January through 2 February 2024, ISE – celebrating its 20th year – will return to Barcelona, welcoming thousands of exhibitors, press members and everyone in between.
The annual conference combines summits, stalls and speakers with a varied programme that’s centred around the obstacles and opportunities within the AV sector.
Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed a transition to remote learning and hybrid employment, more ambitious stadium events and shifts towards virtual and augmented realities.
In other words, everything is changing fast as technology advances and society transforms along with it. In our increasingly plugged-in, digital world, live AV solutions are more essential – not to mention commonplace – than ever before.
Get smart
This year’s ISE will feature conferences on smart building and home technology, content production and distribution, education and sustainability, among other typically timely topics. From live entertainment to retail to venue-based experiences, each summit encourages upskilling, keeping working professionals immersed in current conversations and informed on industry advancements. Here’s what we’re most excited about:
Control Rooms Summit
30 January, 10.30am-2.30pm, CC5.2
With the unmistakable rise of automation, data and AI have been taking over control rooms recently.
This summit will discuss these two phenomena, paying special attention to issues around cybersecurity.
Tech Talks & Tech Talks Español
30 January-1 February, Various times, Hall 4, ISE Show Floor Stage.
Tech Talks – which are offered in both English and Spanish – are free-to-attend sessions, curated in part by the Catalan AV Cluster. Stay tuned on this one, as programme updates and speaker additions are still rolling in.
Digital Signage Summit
31 January, 10.30am-2.30pm, CC5.1
The Digital Signage Summit promises to go far beyond just talking about pixels, instead exploring how Internet of Things devices are designed, displayed and operated, with a particular emphasis on how they feed off their immediate surroundings.
Education Technology Summit
1 February, 10.30am-2.30pm, CC5.1
The pandemic and online education brought one undeniable fact to the forefront of our minds: individuals have different learning styles.
The Education Technology Summit will consider how to design tailored experiences that will meet the various needs, preferences and abilities of an increasingly diverse student population.
Live Events Summit
1 February, 10.30am-2.30pm, CC5.2
We couldn’t call ourselves LIVE if we weren’t passionate about live events. To that end, we’re really excited to see the entertainment industries returning in full force.
From a range of engaging visuals to immersive audio, we simply can’t wait to see what fresh, exciting opportunities are in store.
