Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2008 has once again broken its own records for both exhibitor and visitor numbers. The event, held in Amsterdam, witnessed a staggering attendance of 22,199, marking a significant increase of nearly 6,000 attendees compared to the previous year.
The exhibition, which is now in its fourth year, has rapidly become a cornerstone event for professionals across various industries, demonstrating remarkable year-on-year growth. A key highlight from this year’s show is the dramatic surge in attendance from specific professional sectors. Architects and designers showed a 300% increase in attendance, indicating a growing interest in integrated systems within architectural and design projects. Similarly, the live events industry saw an even more significant uptick, with attendance figures rising by 400%.
Another notable statistic from this year’s event is the diversification of the attendee base. Visitors from vertical markets now represent almost 30% of the total attendance, a substantial increase from 15% in 2007. This shift underscores the expanding relevance of integrated systems across a broader range of industries and applications.
In anticipation of next year’s event, over 80% of the stand space for ISE 2009 has already been sold out, signaling strong confidence in the continued growth and influence of the exhibition. This early sell-out rate further emphasizes the importance of ISE as a platform for innovation, networking, and business development within the global integrated systems and technology sector.
As Integrated Systems Europe continues to set new benchmarks, it solidifies its position as a must-attend event for industry professionals looking to stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving world of integrated systems and technology. With its impressive growth and the increasing diversity of its attendees, ISE is poised to remain at the forefront of showcasing the latest advancements and trends in the industry.
