This underscores its status as the world’s largest AV and systems integration exhibition. ISE 2024’s total show floor will be 30% larger than last year. Anticipation is also building for the highest number of visitors ever recorded at ISE.
The upcoming event, taking place from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2, 2024, will offer the most comprehensive content program to date, says show organizers. The show will feature nine conferences covering a wide range of topics critical to the AV and systems integration industry, and free tech talks, in both English and Spanish.

Industry practitioners, suppliers, and subject experts will join Conference Chair, Chris Dreyfus-Gibson, to explore strategies to safeguard control room infrastructure and operations and create a diverse and effective workforce.
Chris Dreyfus-Gibson, Conference Chair, says, “Control room technology continues to evolve at pace. With increasing use of automation, a growing ecosystem of systems, and the early interest in AI there is a need to protect mission critical control rooms from cyber security threats. Changes in technology also means a change in the skillset which is needed both within control room operations and the broader supply chain. I’m so pleased that the 2024 Control Rooms Summit will offer the opportunity to explore these two important topics: Cyber security and talent. We will be joined by industry experts who will share their case studies and experiences. This summit will be our most interactive, with the audience becoming one big panel of experts.”
