Integrated Systems Events (ISE) has announced that its 2016 event will take place over four consecutive days at the RAI exhibition centre in Amsterdam.
With 950+ exhibitors already booked into ISE 2015, attendance is confidently expected to rise above the 51,000 people that came to the 2014 edition.
“This move has largely been driven by the demands of our exhibitors and attendees,” states ISE managing director Mike Blackman. “Quite simply, the extremely high attendance at the show, particularly on the first two days, saw increasing requests from exhibitors to have more time to spend with attendees.
“For attendees, we need to ensure that the show remains comfortable to attend,” he explains. “This announcement allows us to meet both objectives.”

“There will a lot of exciting developments,” he clarifies. “The extra day will allow ISE to become an even more rewarding experience for everyone at the show.”
At ISE 2015 a wide range of events will be taking place before and during the show. Pre show on February 9, visitors can attend the third annual Smart Building Conference, which will explore the continued evolution of smart building technology in the commercial and residential sectors.
