ISE 2026 is raising the bar on professional learning, unveiling its largest and most diverse content programme to date. Taking place February 3–6 at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, the show will offer attendees an unprecedented range of insights into the forces reshaping the pro AV industry, from artificial intelligence and cybersecurity to sustainability, smart spaces, and broadcast AV.
Developed by AVIXA, co-owner of Integrated Systems Europe, the expanded programme reflects the growing complexity of the AV landscape and the varied needs of the global audience ISE attracts each year. Returning for the fourth consecutive year are six half-day Summits, complemented in 2026 by a new Megatrends programme designed for fast, focused learning on rapidly evolving topics.
“ISE draws such a cross section of AV professionals from around the world – each person has different interests and goals for their show experience,” said Mike Blackman, Managing Director, Integrated Systems Events. “When developing the content program with AVIXA and our other partners, we use different formats and depth of topics to fit unique needs. For example, the Megatrends program was developed in response to attendees’ needs for succinct assessments on fast-changing trends, with the flexibility to step in and step out among their other activities at the show. Individual sessions are 20-40 minutes that highlight key developments in AI, Cybersecurity, Robotics, Smart Spaces, Sustainability, and TradeScape (regulatory and tariffs).”
Megatrends sessions run between 20 and 40 minutes and allow attendees to drop in and out throughout the show days. Topics span AI, cybersecurity, robotics, smart spaces, sustainability, and TradeScape, which covers regulation and tariffs impacting the industry. A €99 Megatrends ticket provides access to all sessions during the show, along with two weeks of on-demand access post-event.
Among the headline sessions, Karsten Marijnissen of Incentro will explore how organisations can successfully adopt agentic AI, while Rich Mulholland of Missing Link will examine how leaders can differentiate themselves by embracing emerging technologies. Marjolein Koens-Schadalee will focus on translating sustainability-led smart space design into measurable return on investment.
For those seeking deeper exploration, the six half-day Summits will deliver in-depth analysis across Cybersecurity, Control Rooms, Smart Buildings, Broadcast AV, Digital Signage, and Education Technology. Each Summit will feature real-world case studies, peer-led discussions, and practical strategies from industry leaders.
Summit Passes are priced at €440 per Summit, with an All-Conference Pass available for €1150, granting access to all Summits, Megatrends sessions, the Smart Home Technology Conference, and Business Forums. AVIXA members receive a 30% discount on both pass options.
Professional development remains a key focus, with CTS and ANP Renewal Units available for selected Summit and Megatrends sessions. Check out the list of RU-approved sessions.
ISE 2026 will also expand its popular Show Floor Tours programme, responding to strong demand from first-time and returning attendees alike. Priced at €99, the enhanced tours include daily “New to ISE” and “Megatrends” routes, alongside specialist tours covering education technology, broadcast AV, and off-site visits focused on cybersecurity and control room technologies.
“Navigation is one of the biggest challenges at a show of this scale,” Blackman added. “This year’s tours are designed to help attendees get more value from their time on the floor, whether they’re new to ISE or looking to explore specific technology areas.”
More information on the ISE 2026 content programme and ticketing is available via the ISE website, with passes also available for purchase onsite.
