Integrated Systems Europe 2018 will see host of new events - including Avixa's Tide conference and a projection mapping competition - as well as the return of ISE staples such as the InAVation Awards and the Smart Building Conference.

The Tide (Technology. Innovation. Design. Experience.) conference was first held at the InfoComm show in June 2017. It will start the day before ISE 2018 opens at the Okura Hotel in Amsterdam. Organisers intend to explore creative forces and business decisions affecting the AV industry and look at how businesses can make the most of these concepts. The TIDE conference will focus on Design Thinking for Business and the programme will be applicable to all design professionals, end customers and AV channel delegates.

The World Masters of Projection Mapping is a competition with both the final and awards' presentation occurring during ISE 2018. It is produced by Amsterdam Light Festival, the RAI Amsterdam and ISE. Attendees will be able to view the finalists' 3D-light displays from canal boats sailing from the Amsterdam RAI convention centre to the competition location.

Five shortlisted video artists will create a work of video art to be mapped onto the three-dimensional architecture of the EYE Filmmuseum, to be experienced from multiple viewpoints.

Judging will be led by Amsterdam Light Festival Creative Director Lennart Booij and will take place on February 8. The winner will be announced at ISE on February 9 at 12:30pm at an awards event featuring the five finalists.

XR Summit ISE is a one-day B2B strategy conference focused on the Virtual (VR), Augmented (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) industry. It will take place in the RAI on February 6 to explore technologies, business strategies and solutions, and how they impact the AV business.
