Europe - The record number of exhibitor bookings and added space secured for the Integrated Systems Europe 2006 exhibition demonstrates that the market is buoyant and confident, say the organizers - a claim they say is confirmed by the record results achieved at InfoComm 2005 - the largest annual conference and exhibition for audio-visual buyers and sellers, held in Las Vegas in June. The event grew 15% over 2004, attracting over 26,000 AV professionals including a strong increase in the number of AV and IT managers.

Mike Blackman, ISE 2006 managing director explains: "The success of InfoComm 2005 demonstrates that the market is growing stronger by the year as more professionals and installers look to exhibitions as the key medium to source new products and see the latest innovations in technology."

Blackman also had this to say about the latest progress on ISE 2006: "With the majority of past exhibitors returning along with an increasing number of newcomers to the event, ISE is now the definitive European showcase for the AV systems integration market. "This demonstrates the importance of electronic AV systems integration as a hub of the home and professional Audio Visual market and emphasises how vital the Show has become for those companies looking to forge partnerships to help them compete in today's market."

The third edition of Integrated Systems Europe will be held from 1-3 February 2006 at the Brussels Expo.
