ISE brings the AV community together at Fira de Barcelona, Gran Via.

Registration is now open for Integrated Systems Europe, as the world-renowned annual tech show for the audiovisual and systems integration industry invites professionals to experience what happens “When Worlds Unite.” ISE 2027 returns to Fira de Barcelona, Gran Via, from 2 to 5 February 2027, bringing together the innovators, creators and technology leaders turning convergence into new possibilities.

When Worlds Unite

“When Worlds Unite” is more than a strapline for ISE 2027 — it reflects where the AV industry is heading. The lines between AV, IT, broadcast, live events, smart buildings and education are blurring, and the most valuable work increasingly happens when those worlds meet.

“Bringing our industry together has always been at the heart of ISE, and that spirit is central to ISE 2027,” said Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Events. “It is about what happens when AV meets IT, technology meets creativity, and established expertise meets the next generation. That is when the most interesting work is happening, and at ISE 2027 you don’t just see the change, you are part of it. This is when the future of our industry gets created.”

Thousands of AV and systems integration professionals pass through the ISE show floor each year.

Expanding into Fira Montjuïc

That spirit of convergence runs through every part of ISE 2027, and for 2027 the show is expanding its footprint into Fira Montjuïc, connecting the AV community with new audiences and ideas across education and the creative industries.

On Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 February, an ISE 2027 badge also provides access to the show floors of EdTech Congress and Spark — one registration covering three show floors and more opportunities to explore what’s next. ISE 2027 is a joint venture of AVIXA, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association, and CEDIA, the global trade association for companies that design, manufacture and integrate technology for the home.

More than a show floor

Beyond the exhibition halls, ISE 2027 is complemented by a four-day professional development programme curated by its co-owners, featuring summits, track sessions, keynotes and events that take place before, after and during the show.

AVIXA, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association, represents more than 3,000 enterprise member companies and over 20,000 AV professionals across more than 80 countries, spanning manufacturers, systems integrators, dealers, distributors, consultants and technology managers. CEDIA, the Association for Smart Home Professionals, brings together a global community of more than 30,000 members in over 80 countries, and co-owns ISE alongside founding CEDIA Expo, the world’s largest residential technology show.

Getting to Barcelona

Visitors planning their trip to ISE 2027 can rely on bnetwork, the show’s official accommodation partner, which offers exclusive hotel rates across Barcelona through a dedicated booking site comparing hotels by distance from the Fira, price, sustainability and guest ratings.

Beyond rooms, bnetwork can arrange airport transfers and group transport, book restaurants, and source off-site spaces for meetings, hospitality and private events, with a team on site at the Fira throughout the show.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
