What can we expect at ISE 2025?
“We have made several strategic changes to the layout of the halls to enhance the attendee experience and streamline the flow of traffic. One of the most significant changes is the relocation of the Lighting & Staging Hall to create a more cohesive and logical arrangement of the halls – aligning related technologies and solutions closer together. By relocating the Lighting & Staging Zone to Hall 6, we can better integrate it with other complementary sectors such as the Audio Zone in Hall 7, AV Broadcast & Digital Signage Zones in Hall 4 and it is closer to the Audio Demo Rooms in Hall 8, and the new Hall 8.1 – creating a more intuitive experience for attendees. Additionally, the new location offers expanded space, allowing us to accommodate more exhibitors and showcase a broader range of innovations within the industry. This move also provides an opportunity to introduce the all-new Live Events Stage.”
How will the Live Events Stage contribute to the tradeshow experience?
“The Live Events Stage will bring an element of real-time interaction and engagement, offering attendees the chance to witness cutting-edge technologies in action. The programme features industry discussions and thought leadership sessions, providing valuable insights and knowledge sharing opportunities. It will be a vibrant space where professionals from various sectors can come together to explore the possibilities of live event technology and discover new ways to enhance their own projects and productions.”
What other new elements can ISE 2025 attendees expect?
“ISE 2025 is set to debut a range of exciting new features aimed at enhancing the attendee experience and offering valuable insights into the latest industry trends.
“Alongside the Live Events Stage, we’re thrilled to introduce the Innovation Park – a dedicated space in Congress Square designed to support and amplify the efforts of startups and emerging businesses; an expanded Content Programme, curated by AVIXA, CEDIA and ISE as well as flexible ticketing options, including the new Content Day Pass, providing access to ISE Summits and Track Sessions at no extra cost.
“In line with ISE’s enhanced focus on innovation, startups, and entrepreneurship, ISE 2025 will host its first-ever Hackathon. Over two days at Fira de Barcelona, teams of students will collaborate to tackle three real-world challenges in sustainability, innovation, and cybersecurity – working alongside professionals from education and other industries, fostering a unique environment for learning and problem-solving.”
