ISE 2026 from 3 to 6 February, greater than ever

Text from SoundLightUp & ISE

With the (definitive?) cancellation of Prolight+Sound for 2026, ISE has earned its status as the world’s leading trade show in the professional audiovisual and systems integration sectors. To accommodate new exhibitors and meet the demand for larger stands, the organizers have expanded the venue to a total surface area of 82,000 m² across 8 halls, featuring 1,710 exhibitors.

Integrated Systems Europe (ISE), the world’s largest trade show for professional audiovisual and systems integration, returns to Fira de Barcelona Gran Via from February 3 to 6, 2026.

Bigger and more ambitious than ever, ISE 2026 promises an unprecedented showcase of cutting-edge technologies and solutions designed to enhance every experience across the professional AV and systems integration sectors. Under the new theme “Push Beyond,” ISE 2026 invites the industry to move beyond traditional boundaries and embrace next-generation approaches to AV, systems integration, and smart environments.

The official floor plan for ISE 2026 is now available and showcases the largest configuration ever, with nearly 82,000 m² of exhibition space spread across eight halls and seven expanded technology zones. As the show continues to grow, several areas now extend into the East Access space, adding more than 2,700 m² in total, including 1,430 m² dedicated to exhibition space, to accommodate additional exhibitors. This year, there are 1,710 exhibitors in total, including 323 new ones.
In our sector of audio, lighting, and video equipment for live performance and event production, very few brands have held out. New for 2026, the organizers have created high-end listening rooms called “High-End Listening Suites” in the recently renovated CC2, offering audio exhibitors the demonstration conditions required for sound quality and immersive experiences.
