FIRST WORDS

ISE finally arrived at the Fira de Barcelona, Gran Vía from 10-13 May. The exhibition saw 43,691 unique attendees from 151 countries. The show floor featured 834 exhibitors occupying 48,000 square metres across six Technology Zones. After two years, it certainly was a welcome sight for many. However, it does seem that the shows are coming in thick and fast. Just before ISE was Prolight + Sound Frankfurt, NAMM will be held from June 3 to 5, and InfoComm 2022 in Vegas is being held from June 4 to 10, with the exhibition show floor opened from June 8 to 10. That is quite a bit of a squeeze, especially for exhibitors. It is nice to see the in-person exhibitions restarting though I am unsure about the tight schedules.

I would also like to highlight our next AVnTech4Church webinar that touches on visual displays and invite churches to register to attend the webinar. More details in this e-newsletter.
