Integrated Systems Events, the producers of the Integrated Systems Europe exhibition, has announced the start of an official cooperation with the VR Days Europe festival which takes place in Amsterdam on 25-27 October 2017. VR Days is a unique celebration of Virtual and Augmented content, creativity and production taking place in five different venues across the historic city.
Now in its third year, VR Days Europe 2017 – Where Realities Meet will be comprised of a mix of events featuring a compelling range of keynotes, sessions, workshops and seminars. VR Days 2016 drew over 3,000 attendees. Integrated Systems Events will provide content, marketing and organisational support for VR Days Europe. In return, VR Days Europe will produce a new VR Days event at ISE 2018, specifically targeted towards ISE exhibitors and attendees.
For Integrated Systems Events, the agreement with VR Days forms part of its strategic commitment to develop complementary, cutting-edge technology and business events to sit alongside the annual four-day Integrated Systems Europe exhibition. Integrated Systems Events also produces the DSS series of international conferences and the Smart Building Conference.
VR Days Europe Festival Director Benjamin de Wit commented: “Our mission is to unite the VR and AR communities, to inspire creative minds and to drive business forward. I am delighted that we are working with ISE as we complement one another perfectly. Together we are confident that we can develop the event and the brand. A number of the vertical market sectors we cover are extremely relevant for the AV market-place. There is the potential for a great deal of synergy.”
Integrated Systems Events Managing Director Mike Blackman commented: “The use of Augmented and Virtual Reality products and solutions is already playing a significant role in the AV business for both our exhibitors and attendees. There is much to learn and much to get excited about. It’s vital that ISE is able to provide a platform for companies and individuals that are keen to understand the current state-of the-art, what’s available today and what’s coming in the future. VR Days has an unrivalled position to help us deliver this and one that we are proud to be involved with and help to develop.”
