The exhibition says the educational component of ISE 2024 was “exceptional.” The conference sessions, workshops and keynote presentations from director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and digital artists Jeroen van der Most and Sofia Crespo were curated to provide valuable insights into emerging trends, market dynamics and technological breakthroughs. ISE says speakers in the conferences and on the show floor stages shared their expertise on topics such as artificial intelligence in AV, sustainable design and the future of remote collaboration. Attendees had the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions and gain actionable knowledge to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving industry.

ISE says the celebration of its 20th anniversary added a “special touch” to the event. Commemorative events, retrospective installations such as the ISE Time Tunnel and Vintage Audio Museum and acknowledgments of industry pioneers highlighted the journey of ISE. This not only created a sense of nostalgia but also underscored the industry’s resilience and adaptability in the face of technological evolution, according to the show.
