On the Road to ISE with Jaypaul Barrow

Welcome to our new blog series, On the Road to ISE, where we will be talking to MultiTaction employees about top tech trends for 2020, and what they are looking forward to seeing at ISE 2020.

In this week’s #RoadtoISE interview, we are joined by Jaypaul Barrow.

How many times have you been to ISE?

I’ve been going to ISE as long as there has been an ISE!

I attended the first one in 2004 as a visitor looking at interactive whiteboards. In 2006 I was proud to be an exhibitor on the Electrosonic stand selling command and control systems and I’ve attended as a visitor or exhibitor every year since.

What industry trends do you see making the biggest impact in 2020?

Microsoft Surface 2X will be the “darling of the show” people have been waiting two years now to get to see it and their anticipation will be high.

I’m hoping that “AI Integration” will be a big aspect, but I suspect there will be little said as the SI nature of the show makes it “hard to present AI” in a meaningful way.

DirectVeiw LED has grown year on year at ISE and I suspect this year we will see some really interesting moves from Samsung/LG/Leyard and Christie.

When visitors come to the booth, what is the key takeaway you want them to remember when they think about MultiTaction?

We offer the Porsche of video wall touch screen experiences. If your budget won’t stretch to a Porsche, or you don’t need a videowall, we have other options to suit any budget.

What are you looking forward most to see at ISE this year?

Catching up with all my ex-colleagues and clients. It really is a close-knit community, but the fast pace and rapid developments mean we rarely have time to just catch up. The ISE show provides that opportunity at some of the vendor events.
