Last year’s ISE was just the warm-up. We hit the ground running with Iris, and our in-store audio prodigy, and a bunch of other cool stuff. Fast forward to this year, and we’ve been hustling hard to roll out some amazing new products.
Build up and Day 1
Our fearless leader Johan and the ever-resourceful Timon kicked off the adventure, road-tripping to Barcelona with a carload of our latest innovations. Hot on their heels, Mark, Andor, and Arlind took to the skies – well, sort of, considering Mark’s plane had to make an unscheduled pit stop for a medical emergency. And Johan? He battled a bit of sickness, but nothing could dampen our spirits.
Our Barcelona booth, crafted by a fantastic local crew, was all set for our Monday debut. Despite the twists and turns, Mark and Timon dove into setting up, transforming the space into an Iris showcase that buzzed with energy. Day one was a whirlwind – our booth was jam-packed, buzzing with questions about Iris (no, it’s not Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, folks!). The cherry on top? Parading our battery-powered speaker with Iris input across the hall – a real power move that wowed the crowd.
Gala and Day 2
Well, actually backup. Day 2 started with the award gala the evening before. As our fearless leader was still a little under the weather. We nominated Timon to represent him at the award gala. Streamit was nominated for two awards. Seated at a table with three other companies we felt like winners. Our table nabbed two trophies just not the ones in our categories. But we made new friends and new connections. That evening lasted a bit into the next day so we had to regroup for day 2. Day two saw some more talks, some of which were lengthy and productive. Very good response from our visitors. Now for a booth party and on to day 3!
Day 3 and 4 – looking back
As we approach the last day of the show, there’s a sense of excitement mixed with a dash of nostalgia. Tonight, it’s all about the Streamit team – no award ceremonies or formal client dinners. Just us, unwinding and sharing a casual yet special dinner, reflecting on the week’s successes and shared moments.
Tomorrow promises to be a day bustling with off-booth meetings, a perfect opportunity to spread our message further and forge new connections. Amidst these engagements, we’ll be preparing for the final act – packing up and heading home. It’s been a fantastic journey, filled with unexpected encounters, like bumping into some old friends at one of the booth parties.
But for now, it’s time to savor the moment and enjoy a meal together. Let’s make the most of these final hours at the show!
Reflecting on a Successful ISE Experience
As the curtains fall on this year’s ISE, we take a moment to look back on an incredibly fulfilling experience. It’s been a whirlwind of innovation, connections, and memorable moments.
We are immensely proud to have introduced our Iris lineup, which has been the centerpiece of our presence here. The enthusiasm and interest it garnered from visitors have been nothing short of inspiring. It’s not just about the products, though. The highlight for us has been meeting so many fantastic people – industry professionals, curious visitors, and old friends. Each conversation and interaction has added depth and value to our ISE journey.
Our team’s diversity, reflected in our varied journey plans, mirrors the vibrant spirit of ISE. While some of us are heading straight back to our families, others are taking the opportunity to soak in the beauty of Barcelona for a day. This blend of personal and professional commitments, modes of travel – be it by car or plane – epitomizes the dynamic and versatile nature of our team.
As we pack our bags, with some ready to hit the road and others preparing for their flights, we carry with us a sense of accomplishment and a wealth of new relationships. We’re excited about the future, eager to continue the conversations we’ve started here, and look forward to seeing how these new connections will shape our path forward.
Thank you, ISE, for another remarkable year. Here’s to innovation, collaboration, and the bright future of audio technology!
