ISE 2015 sees one of the biggest openings in the show's history on 9 February, as over 1000 exhibitors prepare to meet around 50000 visitors from across the entire integration value chain over the next 3 days.
As is the usual the show is divided over four themed showroom areas--Residential Solutions, Smart Building, Digital Signage and Unified Communications. It also hosts free-to-attend presentations 3 purpose-built Showroom Solutions Theatres (Residential, Commercial and Unified Communications) and Personal Development programs from CEDIA and InfoComm International.
Opening the show was the traditional keynote, this time by futurist Lars Thomsen. Titled "520 Weeks into the Future: Trends and Tipping Points in the Electronic Systems Industry until 2025," the speech predicts the Internet of Things will turn the "integrated systems" making ISE's name into a single "integrated system," one tied together by the IPv6-based "digital nervous system."
