International. After announcing in December that Integrated Systems Europe 2015 would be the last three-day event before a four-day move in 2016, attendance at this year's show demonstrated why ISE has taken the step to extend the duration of the exhibition.
In AV systems integration, it was the largest exhibition in Europe with 59,350 registered attendees arriving at the fair between 10 and 12 February at the Amsterdam RAI. This represents an increase of 8,347 registered attendees (16.4%) in ISE 2014.
ISE 2015 also offered visitors a wide range of personal development and training programs facilitated by InfoComm International and Cedia. These sessions attracted more than 700 people in total, a record for the show.
Both partnerships also contributed to the three-story show with solutions dedicated to residential, commercial and unified communications integration. In them, more than 3,000 visitors attended 90 sessions presented by ISE exhibitors.
Reservations for the 2016 event at the end of the fair stood at 41,200 square meters sold. This represents 106% of the total space sold for the 2015 event and 94% of the total space available for 2016.
ISE 2015 saw increased exhibit space provided by the addition of the Diamond Show. This expansion will continue at ISE 2016 with the opening of the Amtrium, the new construction next to Hall 4. In addition, there will be four Showfloor theatres, as well as conferences and other initiatives undertaken with exhibitors, trade bodies and media partners.
The next Integrated Systems Europe will be held at the Amsterdam RAI on February 9-12, 2016.
