FORTÉ will be on the ground at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, connecting with customers, partners, and industry peers during the world’s leading event for the audiovisual and systems integration industry. ISE opens on Feb. 3 at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via.

While at ISE, FORTÉ representatives will announce a major new initiative related to the company’s Velocity™ offering, highlighting how FORTÉ continues to help organizations deploy collaboration spaces faster and at scale. Company leaders will also appear on AVIXA TV, broadcasting live from the show floor to share insights on enterprise collaboration and the impact artificial intelligence is having on the modern workplace.

Attendees are encouraged to meet with the FORTÉ team at the GPA booth (Stand 2P700) and in the GPA Global Lounge located in the Europa Suite, where conversations will focus on supporting enterprise programs across regions and markets. A Velocity demo is also available in room E47-E48, adjacent to the exhibit floor.

In addition, FORTÉ will participate in the GPA Hola Barcelona networking reception, 7 - 10 p.m., Monday, Feb. 2, at the Melia Sky Hotel. Attendees will have opportunities to connect with peers and the teams delivering enterprise programs at a global scale.
