Overall, 400 exhibitors are expected to attend ISE 2007, up from 300 at this year's event in Brussels. ISE's organisers have signed up companies including Thompson Grass Valley, Sony, Eiki, Crestron, Mitsubishi, Kramer and Extron are returning and will be occupying significant floor space at the show, while Canon and Yamaha have been signed up as exhibitors for 2007.
ISE managing director Mike Blackman says that a massive upturn in the AV systems integration market, and recent strong performances at InfoComm and CEDIA are behind the surge in exhibitor interest for ISE 2007. CEDIA has just closed in London with record attendances and a packed conference programme. "This year, we have seen an unprecedented buzz in the industry," Blackman said. "The AV Systems Integration industry is on the increase and is gaining strength. At InfoComm and CEDIA, the shows were on fire, and we can see a similar trend happening for ISE as well."
The fourth edition of Integrated Systems Europe will be held 30 January - 1 February 2007 at the Amsterdam RAI.
