Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) has announced several new initiatives for its 2026 edition, scheduled for Feb. 3–6 at Fira de Barcelona. With the theme “Push Beyond,” ISE 2026 will expand its show floor and introduce new programs designed to highlight innovation in AV, IT, and systems integration.
Organizers said the 2026 event has already reached capacity at the venue, expanding 5% from 2025. More than 1,400 exhibitors are confirmed, including 184 first-time exhibitors. To accommodate the show’s long-term growth, ISE also provided an update on Hall Zero, a major construction project at the Fira.
Hall Zero, a major construction project at the Fira, is now scheduled to open in 2028. ISE said the delay reflects the need to meet the highest construction and safety standards but emphasized its long-term importance. Once complete, the hall will mark a transformative milestone for both ISE and Barcelona’s role as a global AV hub. In the meantime, all current halls will be optimized to support the show’s continued growth.
- High-End Listening Suites: Located in CC2, the listening rooms will provide acoustically designed spaces for audio brands to showcase products.
- Keynote Speaker: Sol Rashidi, an AI strategist, author, and former enterprise chief AI officer, will deliver the keynote address on Feb. 5.
- Cybersecurity Summit: A new conference track chaired by Pere Ferrer i Sastre will address cybersecurity in AV, focusing on regulations, integration, and resilience.
- EdTech Congress: Co-hosted with EduTech Cluster and Fira de Barcelona, this program will explore AI’s role in education and highlight technology shaping classrooms.
- Spark: A new cross-sector initiative designed to connect professionals from creative industries, encouraging collaboration and idea-sharing.
“ISE has always been more than just about technology on display; it’s where industries come together to inspire, to create, and to challenge what’s possible,” said Mike Blackman, managing director of Integrated Systems Events.
ISE 2026 will take place Feb. 3–6, 2026, at Fira de Barcelona. Registration opens Oct. 6.
