ISE 2026 (Integrated Systems Europe)
Barcelona, Spain
03 Feb 2026 - 06 Feb 2026
ISE 2026 has now ended — but the conversations and product moves from Barcelona will shape AV, UC, and workplace experience decisions for the rest of the year.
ISE 2026 returned to Barcelona as a global meeting point for the systems integration and audiovisual industry — and this year it felt less like a “show of products” and more like a
preview of where enterprise AV and collaboration are heading next.
What defined ISE 2026 (and why it matters)
The biggest signals weren’t the loudest. They were the ones you heard repeated in booth briefings, hallway conversations, and connected classroom demos:
interoperability, AI that stays out of the way, large-room meeting equity, and
security and lifecycle readiness as non-negotiables.
- Interoperability moved from “nice-to-have” to table stakes — with renewed urgency around cross-platform joining and mixed estates.
- “Invisible AI” became the new benchmark — less hype, more automation that reduces setup friction and support tickets.
- Large and extra-large rooms stole the spotlight — because that’s where complexity, user expectations, and executive experience collide.
- Cybersecurity and longevity — increasingly the reason organisations upgrade, even when systems aren’t old.
- Education and workplace experience converged — with capture, accessibility-by-design, and multi-modality learning influencing enterprise expectations.
If you missed it, here’s what to read next
We’ve pulled together the most important themes, on-the-record insights, and the announcements that actually cut through the noise.
UC Today’s ISE 2026 round-up brings the show to life with what people were really saying — and what it means for IT, AV, UC buyers, integrators, and the channel.

FOMO check: if your 2026 roadmap includes room refreshes, AV-over-IP, workplace platforms, meeting AI, or campus learning tech, the ISE 2026 story isn’t “what happened last week” —
it’s a map of what procurement and deployments will look like over the next 12–18 months.
Note: “Register” links are kept for reference, but ISE 2026 has concluded. For the latest coverage, see the round-up and guide above.
