The Netherlands - ISE 2013 saw record numbers of exhibitors and visitors. The show's final total of 44,151 registered attendees represents an 8% increase on 2012's world record of 40,869. Just under 900 exhibitors - also a record for ISE - occupied all 12 halls of the Amsterdam RAI from 29-31 January, with most reporting a brisk three days of business involving a healthy mix of new and established contacts.

On Monday 28 January, ISE celebrated its 10th edition with a widely lauded opening keynote address by renowned cyber-illusionist Marco Tempest, followed by a 10th Birthday Party at which some of ISE's founding exhibitors - those companies that have supported all 10 shows since Integrated Systems Europe began in Geneva in 2004 - were honoured in a special presentation. The celebrations were preceded by three pre-show conferences and over 1,200 people attended the Monday events in total.

"Few who attended our inaugural event in 2004 could have imagined just how big, how interconnected and how inclusive ISE would become within less than a decade," comments Mike Blackman, managing director, Integrated Systems Events.

"ISE 2013 demonstrated more clearly than ever that the electronic systems integration industry is capable of defying economic headwinds and encouraging its stakeholder companies toward continued growth."
