ISE has been postponed for three months from May 10 to 13 at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via. The decision was made in consultation with exhibitors and visitors to ISE in light of the growing impact of the Omicron variant in Spain.

Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Events, said today: “We are closely monitoring conditions in Europe and have worked hard on your behalf to balance health and safety concerns with the need for trade and in-person interaction. It has been a difficult time for so many over the past two years, and while we look forward to meeting everyone at ISE 2022, by listening to our exhibitors, owners and stakeholders, we have agreed that the best plan to he action was to postpone the edition show for three months.

“Moving the event to the spring gives time for our community to rebalance and confidence in international travel and meetings to resume. We will work closely with all of our exhibitors and stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition to the new dates. We look forward to welcoming the global audiovisual community to ISE 2022 in May at our new home in Barcelona.

Daryl Friedman, CEO of CEDIA, added, “We want to make sure that ISE 2022 will be a great success for visitors and exhibitors alike, as it has been for nearly two decades, and that starts with bringing together the most our community as possible. We know the entire home tech industry is excited to come together in person, and we’re confident this move to May will ensure the most dynamic return for all participants. We look forward to communicating with all of you in Barcelona this spring.

We look forward to making this event a success and would like to thank our stakeholders – exhibitors, sponsors, visitors, media partners, contractors and the FIRA Barcelona team – for continuing to support us in this difficult and constantly changing situation. evolution.
