Integrated Systems Europe, or ISE, is upon us – on Feb. 11, the 2020 edition of the world’s leading AV and systems integration show will kick off its last hoorah in Amsterdam.

The 2020 show is expected to be the event’s largest ever, building on a 2019 event that saw more than 1,300 exhibitors and over 81,000 visitors converge on RAI Amsterdam to take in the latest and greatest in AV.

It goes without saying that ISE is a can’t-miss event – but what elements of this year’s show make for must-sees in their own right?

Let’s dive into four of the biggest events of ISE 2020.

  1. Hospitality Tech Summit by HTNG

Offering attendees an insider look at how the hotel industry is embracing the latest AV innovations, the Hospitality Tech Summit will feature expert panel discussions, actionable market research findings, and informative case studies designed to illuminate best practices.

Hospitality Technology Next Generation (HTNG) will mark its second year presenting at ISE, and the event will see more than a dozen speakers share their unique insights on the future of the hotel industry.

2. AVIXA Higher Education AV Conference

The role of technology in education is constantly increasing, and for good reason – today’s innovations have opened up an entirely new frontier for education professionals, allowing them to serve students in ways that were previously left to the realm of imagination.

To that end, the AVIXA presentation will focus in on how AV technologies can best be leveraged to support the continued enhancement of the education process.

This year’s theme is aimed at accounting for the experiences of the entire spectrum of people that call the education industry home, offering a unique look at how collaboration and technology can bring the industry’s participants even closer.

3. Control Rooms Summit

As technology and its capabilities and implications ramp up, the use of control rooms – of which there are estimated to be more than 250,000 in the world, today – is expanding beyond its traditional arena.

In short, that means the legacy industries of public safety, transportation and utilities are being joined by new players like telecommunications, aerospace, data centers, and more in utilizing these critical spaces.

This ISE 2020 presentation will highlight the ever-more-multifunctional nature of modern control rooms, taking a long look at how that complexity both presents challenges and, with the right tools, helps operators overcome them.

4. Elicium Projection Mapping

Perhaps no ISE show or installation best exhibits the show’s forward-looking nature better than 2020’s Elicium Projection Mapping.

Located on the RAI Amsterdam’s Elicium complex, the projection mapping will allow content to be molded to the very shape of the front façade, itself, providing a jaw-dropping look at the capabilities of modern AV installations.

Big buyers take over 18 months to approve a display vendor, IndexBox finds

Big buyers take over 18 months to approve a display vendor, IndexBox finds

IndexBox's updated report, published November 13, forecasts about 6.5% yearly growth for commercial displays through 2035. The bigger planning number is 18 months. That is how long major corporate and public-sector buyers routinely take to approve a vendor, locking in screens, firmware and software for multi-year refreshes.

  • 01The display vendor shortlist an enterprise writes this year decides whose screens, firmware and software it runs through a multi-year refresh, because major buyers routinely spend more than 18 months qualifying a supplier.
  • 02Firmware security, content-software API stability and component traceability now count as supply-resilience tests for commercial displays, which puts IT teams beside facilities in the buying decision.
  • 03IndexBox sees pricing power shifting to integrators and software platforms, with steady growth rates of around 6.3% to 6.5% forecasted by independent reports through 2035.

Why Led4Live bought a Coda Audio ViForce system

Why Led4Live bought a Coda Audio ViForce system

Led4Live, a firm that works concerts, festivals and corporate events, bought a Coda Audio ViForce system from Coda's Polish distributor Tommex. The order included 18 four-way cardioid line array modules and four Sub Force subwoofers. Every speaker in the rig is Coda. The purchase reads as a platform bet, with shared software and amplification weighed alongside cardioid stage control.

  • 01Every speaker in Led4Live's new rig, from 18 line array modules down to two stage monitors, comes from Coda Audio and runs on one Dante-enabled amplifier platform.
  • 02Single-box cardioid designs are pitched on what they’re designed to keep off the stage: less rear radiation, fewer reflections and (in theory) better working conditions for performers.
  • 03The cross-range compatibility argument pays off only when mains, fills and monitors share a maker; a mixed-brand rental inventory gets less of it.

LG's Signage Manager app lets store staff run e-paper signs from a phone

LG's Signage Manager app lets store staff run e-paper signs from a phone

LG Electronics announced LG Signage Manager on Nov. 11, 2026. It is a smartphone app for editing, scheduling and monitoring LG's E-paper Display without a PC. Updates go over Wi-Fi when the phone and the display are on the same network, which makes it a tool for on-site staff. The schedules staff set also drive the display's power management, so how often content changes affects energy use.

  • 01On LG's e-paper display, the content schedule a store manager sets in the app is also the instruction the display uses to manage its power.
  • 02LG Signage Manager runs updates and status checks when the phone and display share a network, which makes it a fit for staff on the shop floor and a weaker fit for chains that push content from head office.
  • 03Before a pilot, check two things: whether the app is available in your region, and what the battery readout shows at the update frequency your menus and prices actually need.
