David Labuskes, CTS, Chief Executive Officer, AVIXA

Each year as I gather my thoughts to welcome so many of the community, both new and longtime attendees to ISE, I cannot help but reminisce of the many shows of the

past. From our days in Amsterdam to the 2021 roadshow with its first peek at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via, to the triumph of ISE 2022 and our grand entrance to the city of Barcelona. Each carries a significant place in my heart. It is with these memories top of mind, that I get ready to welcome you to ISE 2023, where we will have the opportunity to not only reminisce but to also make new connections, enhance our knowledge and careers and, most importantly, to kick off another year of commerce for our industry.

It has been a year of getting back to business – navigating an ongoing and continually changing hybrid work environment, handling supply chain and workforce challenges, but also reconvening in-person. While it has been a year filled with obstacles, it has also been one to celebrate as we begin to come back into the world with aplomb and perhaps a new-found appreciation and stamina for how AV helps us to experience the world around us.

ISE 2023 will provide us with an opportunity to discover the newest innovations that fuel our industry and the chance to truly hear, see, and touch the technologies that are both our present and our future. The show will provide an opportunity to learn about trending topics and strengthen our technical knowledge and career development as well as grow our professional relationships.

AVIXA is excited to present multiple education opportunities at the show for AV professionals of all levels to enhance their knowledge. We will bring an in-person AVIXA Xchange activation to the AV community for peers and thought leaders to engage in lively discussions. We will also host several member events, such as our regional breakfasts and AVIXA Women’s Council and AVIXA Diversity Council events.

I am certain that this will be an event to remember, and hope that none of us will take this in-person time together for granted. I believe that each of us will approach the city and each other with not only excitement and anticipation but with a deep appreciation for the human connection that shows like ISE provide — the chance to meet your digital peers from around the world, reinforce relationships with longtime friends and colleagues, and gain new perspectives on paths forward. Enjoy these moments!

I am blessed to lead AVIXA and, in partnership with CEDIA, present you with Integrated Systems Europe 2023. Together we are inspired by this amazing community and all that it has to offer.
