First the succession of rumours, then the official announcement and, shortly after, the new dates: ISE 2021<\/a> will be held from 1st<\/sup> to 4th<\/sup> June at the Fira de Barcelona. While waiting for new details, let’s try to analyse the evolution of this reference show for the international AV world.<\/strong><\/p>\n Appointment postponed with ISE 2021: we all had the feeling, given the progress of the pandemic in Europe and the related uncertainties. Perhaps a pinch of hope remained linked to the curiosity to understand and see what the first Spanish edition of ISE would be like. But Mike Blackman<\/strong>‘s team had to come to terms with reality and opt for the postponement of the fair, initially scheduled for the 2nd<\/sup> to 5th<\/sup> February.<\/p>\n Why postpone?
\n<\/strong>A decision taken by Integrated Systems Events<\/strong> in synergy with the other players in the articulated organisation. From the chairman of the Fira de Barcelona Pau Relat<\/strong> to the top of the co-promoters of ISE, David Labuskes<\/strong> for AVIXA and Tabatha O\u2019Connor<\/strong> for CEDIA, the key word is safety. The responsible attitude and the need to take time to set up the spaces and arrange a welcome for exhibitors and visitors in line with the new normality of living with the virus.<\/p>\n
