Debut Workspace Evolution event featured roundtables, interviews, innovation showcases and networking. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Integrated Systems Events<\/strong> <\/a>and The Next Web<\/strong><\/a> launched RISE Spotlight<\/strong> on Tuesday 24 November, a monthly series of digital events. A curated panel of industry specialists tackled the hot topic of \u2018Workspace Evolution\u2019 in lively digital discussions with plenty of audience participation. With extremely positive feedback from participants, RISE Spotlight was welcomed by an AV industry eager to network and discover what is next.<\/p>\n

The RISE digital programme offers a monthly dose of ISE<\/strong><\/a> which, given the current global situation, could not have launched at a better time. The programme includes virtual events plus online editorial content including a collection of interviews called RISE Culture<\/strong>, which link to the monthly theme but also touch on cultural issues such as inclusion. The Big Read<\/strong> is an in-depth feature article, authored by an industry expert, which takes a deep dive into the theme. This content is live at www.iseurope.org<\/a> and featured within the RISE Connect newsletter.<\/p>\n

RISE Spotlight events, produced in partnership with TNW<\/strong><\/a> and supported by ISE<\/a> co-owners AVIXA<\/strong> <\/a>and CEDIA<\/strong><\/a>, are hosted on virtual event platform Hopin and have been designed to encourage industry engagement through compelling speaker sessions, a live audience Q&A chat function and networking opportunities.<\/p>\n

The first two-hour Spotlight event attracted an international audience from 60 countries. It included an opening keynote with John Egan<\/strong>, CEO of L\u2019Atelier, a Reporter Roundtable panel discussion, an \u2018On the Sofa with ISE\u2019 interview with Marit Janssen<\/strong> of ABN AMRO, Startup Nation business showcase and Watercooler Virtual Meets networking. It was hosted by Callum Booth, a TNW Editor. AVIXA and CEDIA both contributed expertise to the programme. Sean Wargo<\/strong>, Senior Director of Market Intelligence, presented AVIXA Insights into the unified communications and collaboration market. CEDIA\u2019s Ed Wenck (Content Director) and Walt Zerbe (Senior Director of Technology and Standards) hosted a networking session about optimising technology in the work-from-home environment, while Wargo\u2019s networking session discussed preparing for next-level collaborative working. <\/p>\n
