Alla luce dell’impatto della variante Omicron in Spagna, Integrated Systems Events annuncia che ISE 2022, in programma dall’1 al 4 febbraio, verrà posticipata di tre mesi, e riprogrammata dal 10 al 13 maggio 2022.
Dopo aver consultato la comunità degli espositori e dei visitatori ISE, e alla luce del crescente impatto della variante Omicron in Spagna, Integrated Systems Events annuncia che ISE 2022, in programma dall’1 al 4 febbraio, verrà posticipata dal 10 al 13 maggio 2022, sempre presso la Fira de Barcelona Gran Vía.
Mike Blackman, Amministratore delegato di Integrated Systems Events, ha dichiarato: “Abbiamo monitorato da vicino le condizioni in Europa e abbiamo lavorato duramente per bilanciare i problemi di salute e sicurezza con le necessità di business e networking. È stato un momento difficile per molte realtà negli ultimi due anni, e sebbene non vediamo l’ora di incontrare tutto il mondo AV a ISE 2022, ascoltando i nostri espositori, proprietari e stakeholder, abbiamo concordato che la migliore linea d’azione sarebbe stata posticipare l’edizione della fiera di tre mesi.
Spostando l’evento in primavera, la nostra comunità ha il tempo di riequilibrarsi e riprendere fiducia nei viaggi e negli incontri internazionali. Lavoreremo a stretto contatto con tutti i nostri espositori e le parti interessate per garantire una transizione graduale alle nuove date. Non vediamo l’ora di ospitare la comunità AV globale all’ISE 2022 a maggio, nella nostra nuova casa a Barcellona.”

ISE announces three-month postponement.
ISE 2022 rescheduled for 10-13 May 2022
BARCELONA 11 JANUARY 2022: After consultation with the ISE exhibitor and visitor community and in the light of the increasing impact of the Omicron variant in Spain, Integrated Systems Events announces that ISE 2022, scheduled for 1-4 February, has been postponed and will now take place on 10-13 May 2022 at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Vía.
Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Events, said today: “We’ve been closely monitoring the conditions in Europe and have been working hard on your behalf to balance health and safety concerns with the need for commerce and in-person interaction. It’s been a challenging time for so many over the past two years, and whilst we cannot wait to meet up with everyone at ISE 2022, listening to our exhibitors, owners and stakeholders, we have agreed the best course of action is to postpone the show edition for three months.
“By moving the event to the spring, it provides time for our community to rebalance and for confidence in international travel and meetings to resume. We will be working closely with all our exhibitors and stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition to the new dates. We look forward to hosting the global AV community at ISE 2022 in May in our new home in Barcelona.”
David Labuskes, CEO, AVIXA commented: “While balancing the commitment to both commerce and gathering has been difficult in these uncertain times, we believe the postponement of the ISE show until May does just that. Our community hungers for the opportunity to reconvene in 2022. This schedule makes that all the more possible for all of us. Beginning with ISE, we are looking forward to the summer of AV where we will have the opportunity to come together at InfoComm in June and InfoComm Beijing in July – it could not be a better way to gather and reinforce the opportunities and success for our industry.”
Daryl Friedman, CEO, CEDIA added “We want to ensure 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 as much of our community as possible. We know the entire home technology industry is enthusiastic about coming together in-person, and we are confident this move to May will ensure the most vibrant return for all participants. We cannot wait to connect 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 team at FIRA Barcelona – for continuing to support us through this difficult and ever-changing situation.
