What They Say
Although the Infocomm 2021 show has moved back to take place in October in Orlando, the organisers of ISE have decided to stay with 1st to 4th June in Barcelona. Mike Blackman said
Looking ahead to June, we can confirm that today, over 37,000 sqm of space is signed up with just under 700 exhibitors confirmed and new companies continuing to book their place on the floorplan.
Separately, the NRF in the US has said that its New York event planned for June (postponed from January) has been cancelled. The next event will be at the Javits Center in January 2022.
What We Think
Early June still looks risky to me for ISE, although here in the UK vaccination is going quite well. MWC is also due to take place in Barcelona at the end of June, still. If you want to join in what is likely to be a relatively negative discussion on this topic, the Daily Dooh is organising a discussion on whether it should go ahead on Wednesday 10th. (BR)
