Visitor registration is open for Integrated Systems Europe 2021, making its debut at Fira de Barcelona, Gran Vía this June. The event will incorporate both live and online content. 

Integrated Systems Events managing director Mike Blackman comments, “During the challenging times of the past nine months the importance of ISE to the global AV and systems integration business has never been more apparent. Many exhibitors and attendees view the show as the catalyst for business recovery. People rely on ISE for inspiration, for finding new suppliers, keeping up with industry innovations, building lasting relationships, and for education. While ISE 2021 will be a little different this year, it will still provide all these opportunities and we look forward to reconnecting with you.”

ISE 2021 signals the show’s new status as a hybrid event, merging content live from the Fira de Barcelona, Gran Vía with a digital program. The event, which was earlier moved from its February dates to June 1-4, will feature a live stage, break-out lounges, keynotes, hosted roundtables, one-on-one meets plus highlights from ISE’s RISE Spotlight program. 

As one of Europe’s most vibrant, innovative, and beautiful cities, Barcelona provides an exciting setting for exhibitors and attendees. ISE’s priority is to deliver a safe and secure event for all. Along with its co-owners AVIXA and CEDIA, ISE has been working in close participation with the City of Barcelona, the venue and relevant authorities.

The Fira de Barcelona received the ‘Safe Travels’ stamp for its prevention and safety protocol against the transmission of COVID-19, merited by the World Travel Tourism Council (WTTC). Safety measures have been developed with the specialist risk management consultancy Aon and the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. For visitors, ISE has recently published A Guide to Safe Visiting, outlining the safe practice protocols in place at the venue. This is available from the ISE website.
