The third edition of Integrated Systems Europe will be held 1-3 February 2006
at the Brussels Expo. ISE is jointly sponsored by the three leading electronic
systems industry associations: the Custom Electronic Design and Installation
Association ® (CEDIA®), the International Communications Industries Association ® (ICIA®)/Infocomm,
and the National Systems Contractors Association ® (NSCA®). All are
international organizations serving a combined membership of more than 8,000
companies and
individuals in over 70 countries.
Over 7,400 attendees visited ISE 05 and attracted buyers from the entire spectrum
of the industry. As companies strive to find emerging solutions, ISE has demonstrated
its ability to exceed all expectations. ISE 06 will deliver an audience of qualified
business contacts seeking information on the latest solutions and products on
offer. ISE uses highly targeted databases to attract senior managers from key
systems integrators, consultants, dealers as well as buyers of professional audiovisual,
systems and electronics solutions.
With over nine months to go, Integrated Systems Europe 2006 has already sold
more exhibition space than for the whole of the previous show
Integrated Systems Europe, Europe’s leading AV Systems Integration Showcase,
returns on 1st – 3rd February 2006 at Brussels Expo and already the event
is attracting unprecedented interest from both exhibitors and visitors alike.
Confirmed bookings by exhibitors exceed last years total, even though the show
is over nine months away. These record levels, which were anticipated by ISE,
will easily be met as they have secured an additional 60% net extra floor space
at the prestigious Brussels Expo.
Many of the leading suppliers of professional systems integration technologies
have already booked their space with more being added all the time. These include
Mitsubishi Electric Europe, Sony Europe and Extron.
“
The reaction has been overwhelming,” said Mike Blackman, Managing Director
of Integrated Systems Europe.
“
We have already secured more exhibitor space for 2006 than for the whole of
the 2005 event. This was an achievement in itself as the 2005 event was almost
twice the size of the inaugural 2004 show in terms of exhibitors and visitors.
This huge year on year increase reflects a mood of great optimism about prospects
and the general outlook for the market in the months ahead. And with so many
exhibitors bookings this far in advance is testament to the importance that
key Systems Integrators and AV suppliers place on attending this unique exhibition
and conference.”
Exhibitors who have already signed up are expecting significant gains from
this event, as it will focus on the need for technological innovations required
to maintain market competitiveness. ISE 2006 provides an excellent opportunity
for multinational companies to access the enormous European market.
Commenting on the importance of the show, Blackman continued: "Integrated
Systems Europe continues to go from strength to strength. Within the space
of just three years ISE has embedded itself to become the key show in the industry
and is now seen by suppliers and visitors alike as the leading event in its
field."
Blackman is keen to tap into the new and emerging European sectors. “The
AV and Systems Integration community is keen to showcase its latest innovations,
products and services and ISE is the ideal showcase for this important market.
ISE 2006 will continue to attract highly focused and knowledgeable visitors
who have the spending power and authority to make key purchasing decisions
at the event.”
Integrated Systems Europe 2006 will host global decision makers and key business
influencers, focused on the creative, commercial and technology needs of systems
integrators, consultants, dealers as well as buyers of professional audiovisual,
systems and electronic solutions.
Exhibitors will be influencing the event with not only a key presence on the
show floor, but many will also be taking a proactive stance in supporting the
conference as they see learning and personal development as key to the success
of this industry.
ISE will be reaching out to attract visitors from influential and emerging
countries in the AV Systems Integration market including the UK, Germany, France,
Belgium, Italy, Spain and the Middle East.
Blackman is also looking to attract buyers in the influential and lucrative
Live Events Industry:
“
While Systems Integrators and Distributors will continue to attract a large
percentage of the attendee base, we are targeting buyers and end users of AV
technology, particularly in the Live Events and Conference industry. The key
sectors we will be approaching include Interactive Multimedia Conferencing
Solutions, Digital Signage, Large Venues and Outdoor Display suppliers.”
