The organisers of Integrated Systems Europe say that #ISE2024 was the “most successful edition in its 20-year history” which makes you wonder how they like to define ‘success’.
For all those who exhibited and attended it was obviously a great show, well attended and with lots on offer BUT it wasn’t the largest ever in terms of attendees.
We are told that #ISE2024 attracted 73,891 unique verified attendees from 162 countries which they say is “a record since the show’s inception in Geneva in 2004” which is blatantly not true.
It’s on record that 81,268 people attended #ISE2019 (a small increase over the 2018 attendance figure of 80,923).
Anyhow, the exhibition did showcase its highest number of exhibitors with (1,408) and the largest show floor space (82,000 sqm net).
Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Events was quoted as saying “In the illustrious 20-year journey of ISE, we have witnessed the transformative power of innovation and collaboration within our community. ISE 2024 not only reflects the cutting-edge technologies defining our industry but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of creativity and camaraderie. As we celebrate this milestone, alongside our co-owners AVIXA and CEDIA we look forward to continuing our commitment to being a global platform for industry professionals.”
ISE returns to Barcelona 4 – 7 February 2025.
