A new show floor ‘mall’ setup will be brought to ISE 2023, a 2,212 sq m location that can be found in the central aisle between halls four and six as well as halls five and seven.
Congress Square will be filled with innovations, networking opportunities and industry organisations, featuring the Catalonian and Barcelona City Council pavilions, discovery zone, international media showcase as well as the influencer and impact lounges, and networking space.
Debuting at ISE 2023, the impact lounge offers visitors an opportunity to meet with a variety of industry organisations, including Women in Live Music (WILM), ISE sustainability partner, SAVe, and The Circle Society.
Christina De Bono, founder and president, SAVe, commented: “We’re thrilled to bring Sustainability in AV (SAVe) to the Impact Lounge at ISE 2023 for the first time.
“SAVe is the first US-based organisation to bring stakeholders in the audiovisual field to take concerted action to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From climate change and environmental degradation to poverty and inequality, the challenges we face are profound, diverse – and getting worse. We must work together on a global level, as businesses, as educational institutions, and as nations to achieve these critical goals before it’s too late. Please stop by the Impact Lounge to learn more and get involved.”
Congress Square will also highlight the discover zone, home to virtual studio software developer Axximetry, AVoIP, HDBaseT and HDMI distribution device manufacturer Netvio, electronic accessories manufacturer Vanco and transparent LED display developer Flylights.
The Catalonia Pavilion will host 30 local businesses active in the AV industry and highlight business growth opportunities, running the Open Innovation Challenge throughout the event.
ISE 2023 will take place from January 31 – 3 February 2023 at the Fira Barcelona, Spain.
