ISE 2024 Highlights Key Technologies for Building Automation and Security Solutions

ISE 2024 takes place at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via from 30 Jan – 2 Feb 2024. This special 20th anniversary edition is set to be the biggest event yet, as ISE celebrates two decades of pro AV and systems integration excellence. 

Since it began in 2004, Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) – the world’s premier exhibition for professional audio-visual (pro AV) and systems integration – has grown in size, strength and influence to become an industry-defining event. Every year, ISE brings together professionals, innovators and thought leaders across multiple industry sectors from around the world.

Celebrating 20 Years of Innovation

Recognized as the world’s leading AV and systems integration exhibition, ISE’s journey from its humble beginnings in Geneva, to becoming the definitive event it is today has been a remarkable success story. Over the past two decades, ISE has served as a catalyst for groundbreaking technological advances, fostered meaningful connections and dialogue and propelled the systems integration industry to new heights.

“This special 20th anniversary edition of ISE will be our biggest ever event, with an expanded show floor which is already 17% bigger than last year, two new halls, over 80 new exhibitors currently confirmed and several special features and attractions to mark the occasion, including an Anniversary Treasure Hunt. We also are planning a number of special activities throughout Barcelona, including extending our partnership with the Barcelona Llum lighting festival – watch out for more news in the coming weeks,” said Mike Blackman, Managing Director at Integrated Systems Events.

Residential & Smart Buildings Zone

A key sector for ISE is smart buildings, which continues to evolve as expectations for wellness tech, greater connectivity, efficient use of energy and integrated technologies grow. ISE’s Residential & Smart Building Zone in Hall 2 is a major feature, highlighting the latest solutions for creating comfortable and secure smart buildings. Technologies in this specialist area include building automation, security and surveillance, access control, room booking, remote monitoring and management software, audio, and lighting control. Visitors to this zone can find everything required for a fully integrated smart building.

The eight Technology Zones at ISE 2024 provide visitors with the full spectrum of Pro AV and systems integration required for every application, including Lighting & Staging (Hall 1), Residential & Smart Building (Hall 2), Unified Communications & Education Technology (Hall 2), Multi-Technology (Halls 3, 4 & 5), Content Production & Distribution (Hall 4), Digital Signage & DooH (Hall 6), Audio (Hall 7), Plus ISE Sound Experience with Audio Demo Rooms in Hall 8.0.

Conference Program

Attendees can also look forward to a host of immersive demonstrations, insightful speakers and inspiring panel discussions, with eight specialist conferences taking place during the show.

Now in its 10th year, the Smart Building Conference returns on Tuesday 30 January as part of ISE’s comprehensive conference program. This full-day conference is designed for professionals working in the built environment. Hear from building engineering consultants, corporate real estate executives, architects, master systems integrators, IT/AV system houses and more. With smart building case studies and presentations from leaders of the latest technology solutions for inside smart buildings, smart homes and smart offices.

The Control Rooms Summit also takes place on Tuesday 30 January and is ideal for security professionals working across a wide range of vertical markets including utilities, transportation, government and public services.

Barcelona LLUM Festival

Away from the show floor, take the opportunity to explore the beautiful city of Barcelona in a completely different way at Llum BCN, a festival of the light arts, sponsored by ISE.
