This year’s Integrated Systems Europe tradeshow in Barcelona was by far the most successful, as ISE 2024 attendance numbers clocked in at nearly 74,000 attendees from more than 160 countries, representing an increase of 27% from last year’s event.
According to ISE, a total of 73,891 attendees from 162 countries visited the show, and both of those figures are records since ISE’s inception in Geneva in 2004.
The ISE 2024 trade show floor and sessions on Wednesday, Jan 31, attracted the largest crowd and the highest ever attendance numbers in a single day when 51,617 visitors toured the exhibition floor and heard about the latest trends and thought leadership. That number beats the previous record by nearly 22%, according to ISE.
Other records were set in occupation in Barcelona’s hotels, bars and entertainment venues, along with traffic on the largest ever ISE show floor of 82,000 square meters and 1,408 exhibitors.
Mike Blackman, managing director of Integrated Systems Events commented: “In the illustrious 20-year journey of ISE, we have witnessed the transformative power of innovation and collaboration within our community. ISE 2024 not only reflects the cutting-edge technologies defining our industry but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of creativity and camaraderie. As we celebrate this milestone, alongside our co-owners AVIXA and CEDIA we look forward to continuing our commitment to being a global platform for industry professionals.”
