ISE has cemented its position as the leading European technology show for the live events industry. An important part of its offering here is the Live Events Stage, with an array of speakers who deliver concerts, tours and ceremonies featuring some of the biggest names in the world of entertainment.
The Lighting & Staging and Audio Zones have spread from their bases in Halls 6 and 7 and now occupy half of Hall 8.1 as well – making a total of more than 450 exhibitors across the two zones. A few of the big-name brands you’ll find there are Adamson, Clay Paky, d&b audiotechnik, DiGiCo, Ecler, Elation Professional, Equipson, ETC, GLP, K-array, L-Acoustics, MA Lighting, Martin Audio, Martin Professional, Powersoft, RCF and Robe; and there are more major audio players in the Multi-Technology Zone in Hall 3, including Audio-Technica, Dante by Audinate, Harman, Meyer Sound, Shure and Yamaha.
Located in Hall 6, the free-to-attend Live Events Stage offers three days of sessions giving a behind-the-scenes look at some of the world’s most incredible live events, with the people who make them happen. The stage sessions are curated by TPi Magazine and chaired by managing editor Stew Hume and colleagues from sister title MONDO-DR.
Among the programme highlights are:
- The technical team behind the Oasis Live ’25 tour will share their insights on one of the most talked-about tours of the past year
- The creative and production team behind Cirque du Soleil’s latest Berlin residency will reveal how one of their jaw-dropping shows comes together
- With the FIFA World Cup just around the corner, Julien Pateau, Executive Producer for the pre-match ceremonies, will explore how these large-scale televised spectacles are conceived and executed.
- Marking 50 years of the rental house’s existence, members of Britannia Row Productions will reflect on its history and discuss the evolution of professional audio.
On Friday, the Live Events Stage hosts the Production Futures takeover, with a day of discussion, speed networking, profiling training, jobs and industry engagement designed to support the next generation of live events professionals.
