Ninety percent of Halls 1, 2 and 3 Amsterdam RAI already booked for ISE 2007

With still another ten months to go before the doors open on ISE 2007 in Amsterdam, the show organisers have confirmed that sales are 40% up compared to the similar period before ISE 2006.  As a result, the three Halls already secured at the Amsterdam RAI are almost full.  With over 90% of space already secured from exhibitors at this years show, there is a growing interest from new companies, reflecting the consistent growth of this leading European show.

Amsterdam next January will be the place to be for AV System Integrators

With over nine months until the next edition, the Organisers are already well advanced in their sales and marketing strategies.  Mike Blackman, Managing Director, explains:“With record exhibitor sales figures and outstanding visitor feedback, I am delighted to see the show in such a strong position at this early stage and this is clearly demonstrated in the growing interest we have experienced for ISE 2007. For the visitor it provides the clearest proof that Amsterdam next January will be the place to find the very latest industry launches, innovations and technological developments in AV Systems Integration.”

Now that ISE is firmly embedded in the European calendar, Blackman is channeling all energies on making next year’s show, the most spectacular yet.

“Not only will there be more exhibitors, more pavilions and more special features, ISE 2007 will introduce a number of new and exciting initiatives designed to enhance the visitor experience and make the trip to Amsterdam more than worthwhile”

ISE 2006 had excellent feedback

The organisers of ISE 2006 have now published official statistics and they have announced that a record 10,970 visitors from 78 countries attended, reflecting ISE’s unrivalled position as the major pan-European exhibition for the AV Systems and Electronic Integration industry.  Visitor numbers were up by an unprecedented 45% with even further growth expected in 2007.  The show received over 90% of its visitors from Europe.  However, even with such a powerful European focus, the show sparked interest from around the world with a growing percentage coming from the Americas and Asia.  Both Exhibitors and Visitors were unanimous in their delight and satisfaction in participating in such a buoyant and successful Trade Show.

Reports from many of the 330 Exhibitors, who occupied over 23,000 m2 of stand space, referred to the high seniority of visitors who could leverage both strong purchasing authority (84%) and immediate decision-making capabilities.  Visitors were just as upbeat with 99% expressing their satisfaction at attending the show.
