Integrated Systems Europe Closes Up — Way Up
The 2013 edition of Integrated Systems Europe, co-owned by InfoComm International® and CEDIA®, wrapped up last week in Amsterdam. ISE 2013 enjoyed a record number of attendees, foreshadowing great things for June's InfoComm 2013 Show in Orlando. Highlights included ISE's first Smart Buildings Conference, the MegaPixel Summit by Insight Media and a compelling keynote address from a cyber-illusionist. Yes, you read that right. Get all the highlights [PDF].
The Online Path to CTS Glory
This just in from Amsterdam: The first three AV pros to take the CTS® exam onsite at ISE 2013 passed with flying colors. What do all three have in common? They all took CTS Prep Online, a new course from InfoComm University™ that's free to InfoComm members and available to everyone. In all, 27 professionals from six countries passed their CTS exams at ISE 2013. If you missed your chance, you'll be able to take the exam at InfoComm 2013 in Orlando. Stay tuned for onsite exam registration information.
