Meetings, solutions, innovations, and relationships from Milan to Barcelona
When we asked AGMultivision CEO Guido Villa why he would be attending Integrated Systems Europe 2024, he replied, “We are going to discover solutions, strengthen relationships with our partners, and explore new innovations.”
This year, once again, we chose to participate in ISE which, in addition to being one of the most significant events in the AV sector, has become a milestone in our annual planning—a way to consolidate relationships with our partners and forge new ones.
A look at Integrated Systems Europe with AGMultivision
ISE is the world’s largest trade show dedicated to the audiovisual and systems integration sector. It first opened its doors in 2004, when YouTube, X (Twitter), iPhone, iPad, and even Blu-Ray discs had not yet become part of our lives. Over the last 20 years, the event has been a precursor and witness to innovation within the audiovisual and systems integration industry. We could say that ISE and companies have grown together, side by side.
A record-breaking ISE: the 2024 figures
This year’s theme was “Your Destination for Innovation,” a message that anticipates a necessary perspective for those who run a business and want to innovate.
As visitors, we were able to explore and experience the latest innovations firsthand and imagine how they will impact our daily lives.
We walked through the stands of various sectors, such as: Audiovisual, Content Production & Distribution, Digital Signage and DooH, Education Technology, Lighting & Staging, Multi-Technology, Residential & Smart Building, and Unified Communications.
The 2024 edition was the largest to date; the total number of registrations reached 95,396 with 172,627 visits over the four days. During the final day of the fair, there were 24,528 visitors (a record since it became a four-day event).
Finally, ISE 2024 recorded the highest number of exhibitors (1,408) and the largest exhibition area (82,000 net sqm).
During our days in Barcelona, we accompanied our clients to visit the stands of the companies we represent, to learn about the news and innovations they had to offer this year.
We are talking about Chief, Da-Lite, Datapath, Digital Projection, iiyama, Interspace Industries, Laia, Loud of Sweden, Luxul, Middle Atlantic, Peerless-AV, Philips Professional Display Solutions, Vaddio, and Optoma.
Some of the innovations we encountered at ISE 2024
During the visit to the stands, we were told about many new developments in the field of monitors.
We spoke with Stefano Frigo about iiyama‘s innovative solutions and met with Roberto Mancusi from Optoma.
Our CEO Guido Villa then moved between the Vaddio, Peerless-AV, and Laia stands to showcase our partners’ latest news.
Together with Tiziano Testoni, in “Demo” mode, they also guided us through the spaces of Interspace Industries, PixiLab, Loud of Sweden, Digital Projection, Datapath, and Philips PPDS, featuring their ideal solutions for corporate spaces and interactive environments.
An honorable mention goes to our partner Datapath, whom we thank for including us, once again for 2024, in their Datapath Channel partner program as a Gold Partner… but we will tell you more about this soon in another article.
We went to take a close look at their VSN V3, which won the award for best Monitoring & Control product at the 2024 Innovation Awards.
This ISE, our fourth, was also full of meetings, ideas, and interesting reunions, including with friends we hadn’t seen for a long time.
We will organize all the ideas—one in particular that we won’t reveal for now, and which we are already working on.
