For business leaders searching for an insight into the latest connections between audio-visual technology and IT solutions, there’s one event that stands above the rest – Integrated Systems Europe.
ISE is the ultimate AV experience for IT professionals and AV innovators who are ready to discover the next generation of audio-visual experiences. Over 80,000 visitors attended the show in Amsterdam during 2018, interacting with over 1,300 exhibitors. This year, the expo will be just as phenomenal, running between the 5th and 8th of February in the Amsterdam RAI exhibition centre.
We’re thrilled to be attending the ISE event this year, so we thought that we’d share our excitement, by letting you know what you can look forward to in 2019.
