On February 3-6, Integrated Systems Europe will return to the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via. Let’s gear up for the show together! In this series, we’ll cover several topics leading up to ISE 2026, from information on education sessions to exhibitors. 

As the world’s premier exhibition for professional audiovisual and systems integration, ISE continues to be the ultimate destination for industry professionals, innovators, and visionaries.

This year, ISE will have seven dedicated Technology Zones, each offering a deep dive into the latest advancements across key sectors. From immersive audio to smart building solutions, these zones are designed to inspire, educate, and connect professionals shaping the future of the industry. Let’s dive into each one of the seven zones.

Audio

High-quality audio is a fundamental element of the AV experience, whether in boardrooms, classrooms, auditoriums, or stadiums. That’s why ISE’s Audio Technology Zone has become a go-to hub for pros seeking the latest advancements in areas like signal processing and transport, immersive spatial audio, and state-of-the-art loudspeaker design.

Plus, don't miss out on the Audio Demo Rooms in Hall 8.0, the Outdoor Demo Area between Halls 3 and 4, and the new Listening Suites in CC2!

Broadcast AV

Numerous vertical sectors, including corporate, education, and retail, have embraced content production. The Broadcast AV Zone in Hall 4 is where you'll find solutions covering content acquisition, editing, management, storage, and distribution – including camera tracking equipment, switchers, monitors, virtual sets, and more.

Digital Signage & DOOH

Although ISE encompasses a wide range of audiovisual technologies, it is also one of the largest digital signage exhibitions in the world. Attendees looking for solutions in this area should make sure to visit the Digital Signage and DooH Zone in Hall 4, as well as in Hall 3, where the big names in display technology will take their place.

Lighting & Staging

Live event audiences continue to demand innovation, pushing event producers to utilize a more diverse and advanced set of solutions. Many are focused on creating immersive experiences to captivate audiences. At ISE 2026, the Lighting & Staging Zone will showcase lighting and lighting control, rigging and staging equipment, motion tracking, video mapping, holography, and much more. This zone will be in Halls 6 and 8.1.

Multi-Technology

Anyone wanting to appreciate the sheer scope of the AV industry’s innovation should head straight to the Multi-Technology Zone (Halls 3, 5 and 8.1). In particular, Hall 3 is the location of many of ISE’s flagship exhibitor brands. You’ll find manufacturers with a broad range of technologies in this zone.

Smart Buildings & Residential

As our homes become smarter, residential and smart building technologies have more in common than ever before. There’s an increasing emphasis on systems that look after entry and exit, environmental control, and energy management. ISE has been a leading name in residential solutions and home automation, supported by its partnership with CEDIA. It’s also recognized as a major force in smart building technology, thanks to the success of its long-running Smart Building Summit. The combined Residential & Smart Building Zone can be found in Halls 1 and 2.

Unified Communications & Education Technology

Although they serve two distinct markets, there are several areas of overlap between the technologies used in unified communications and education technology – including video communications, interactive flat-panel displays, and content sharing tools. Additionally, education technology is not limited to universities, colleges, and schools but is also widely used within corporate education and training. Since there’s significant overlap, ISE combines these two solution sets in the Unified Communications & Education Technology Zone, located in Halls 1 and 2.
