10. They want us … they really want us – Barcelona rolled out the red carpet for members of the international trade press. Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau welcomed the group to a city “committed to talent and innovation.” Angels Cacon, the Catalan Government’s Minister of Enterprise and Knowledge, touted the region’s “technological leadership,” and Fira general manager Constanti Serrallonga said he has patiently waited years for ISE to come to Barcelona. The officials joined ISE managing director Mike Blackman, CEDIA CEO Tabatha O’Connor, and Avixa CEO David Labuskes in panel discussion.
