The ‘Technology. Innovation. Design. Experience’ conference arrives at ISE to provide broad range of examples and possibilities available to businesses with AV tech

AVIXA, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association, has announce that Daan Roosegaarde, an internationally acclaimed “creative thinker” and founder of Studio Roosegaarde, which develops projects that explore the relationship between people, technology, and space, will keynote the ‘Technology. Innovation. Design. Experience’ (TIDE) conference at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2018.

Taking place February 5th at the Hotel Okura Amsterdam – the day before the ISE show floor opens – TIDE explores the creative forces shaping the AV industry and how AV businesses can benefit from these concepts. The Amsterdam conference will focus on design thinking, bringing together designers, brand marketers, content creators, systems integrators, live events producers, and end users and to share their different perspectives. These innovators will demonstrate the dynamic results and incredible experiences that come from taking a closer look at the role design plays in business.

“After a successful debut at InfoComm 2017 in Orlando, we’re thrilled to bring TIDE to ISE,” said Dan Goldstein, senior vice president of marketing and communications, AVIXA. “TIDE is a great forum for gaining a fresh viewpoint on the possibilities of AV technology. The conference will help contextualize the technology that people will see while they walk the ISE trade show floor. TIDE’s innovative speakers will show how organizations are pushing the limits of technology to deliver extraordinary business results.”

Roosegaarde and his team of designers and engineers develop smart, sustainable prototypes for the cities of tomorrow. His innovative designs include Smart Highway (roads that charge from sunlight and glow at night), Waterlicht (a virtual flood), and Smog Free Project (the largest outdoor air purifier in the world that makes jewelry from smog). Roosegaarde has been honored with several awards for design and creativity, including the London Design Innovation Medal and the World Technology Award. He was also selected by Forbes and GOOD 100 as a creative change maker. Roosegaarde travels the world sharing his visionary ideas at conferences, such as TED and Design Indaba.

The opening keynote will be followed by a series of fast-paced talks and panel discussions, breakout sessions and workshops, and networking opportunities. TIDE will conclude with a closing keynote speaker, soon to be announced, followed by a cocktail reception.

TIDE’s moderator for the day Kevin Jackson is editor-and-chief of Live magazine and an influential marketer who has worked with some of the world’s most respected marketing services groups and live-event agencies.

“Corporate growth starts with personal growth, to be constantly learning and seeing the world through new eyes, to network with stimulating people, to make new connections, to be inspired by new thinking, and to allow the energy created to move you into new channels,” says Jackson. “This is what TIDE offers, design thinking, moving people to think, and then to act. At its heart, design thinking is applied creativity. Designers, indeed all of us in the live-experience industry, are creative problem-solvers, and to have the best and the brightest on stage in Amsterdam is an opportunity that no one should pass up.”
