Integrated Systems Europe 2006 Reports Successful Event
The 3rd edition of Integrated Systems Europe closed on a high note today (February 3rd) after three days of record-breaking crowds, stunning visual displays and exhibitors expressing their delight at the new business they have generated, announced the organisers of ISE at the Brussels Expo.
With a huge rise in attendance figures, covering every category, it reaffirmed ISE as the European meeting place for the AV Systems and Electronic Integration industry.
This year's edition saw a remarkable surge in numbers with almost 11,000 attendees, an increase of nearly 50% over the 7,401 trade visitors last year. As well as a huge influx from Europe, visitors came from all parts of the world including the Middle East, Taiwan and USA.
Early indications from the show floor indicated a unanimous upbeat mood among both exhibitors and Visitors. Representatives from across the wide spectrum of exhibitors expressed their satisfaction at the number of leads gained through end user sales and recruitment of new dealers and distributors. ISE 2006 was seen as the best platform by far for them to be able to showcase their wares and network with industry professionals.
Mike Blackman, managing director for Integrated Systems Europe commented: "We are delighted with the unparalleled interest in ISE from the European industry which has been totally driven by the unprecedented number of new product launches in the AV, home cinema and media technology fields."
A key aspect of the show was the positive response from the visitors and exhibitors alike. A vast majority of the exhibitors were firm in the opinion that they would definitely be coming back next year, said the organizers.
Alongside the main exhibition, throughout the three days, there was a comprehensive and exciting conference comprising a series of seminars, presentations, forums and workshops delivered by various exhibiting companies and supported by the three associations.
Plans are already well advanced to organise the 4th edition of ISE, which will return to the RAI Exhibition Centre, Amsterdam in 2007.
Building on the success of this year’s show and the need for a central European hub to support ISE as it continues to grow at an increasing rate, we needed a venue which has accessibility, support and location as key factors, hence why we are returning to Amsterdam,” explained Mike Blackman.
