From the dynamic show floor and impactful exhibitor showcases to a content-rich programme, this year’s edition has delivered an unmatched experience. We are excited to build on this success and look forward to welcoming everyone back for another inspiring edition in 2026.”

The new Hall 8.1 at ISE 2025 was a resounding success, showcasing the event’s dynamic and future-focused spirit, offering a mix of industry leaders and groundbreaking innovators. A major highlight was the Esports Arena, where gaming competitions and esports and broadcasting technology took centre stage. Equally captivating was the Robotics and Drone Arena, featuring demonstrations in these rapidly advancing fields. The Discovery Zone offered a launchpad for emerging companies to make their mark, while the AVIXA TV Studio added an exciting, interactive dimension with live broadcasts and expert interviews, keeping the momentum high throughout the event.

The content programme at ISE 2025 saw tremendous success, with the newly introduced Track sessions on industry mega trends – jointly curated by AVIXA, CEDIA, and ISE – drawing strong interest. Conference sessions achieved record-breaking attendance, highlighting the growing demand for expert insights and networking opportunities.

The two keynote sessions, featuring Brian Solis and Quayola, attracted full-capacity crowds with only standing room available.

Additionally, the show floor tours saw impressive participation, with 222 attendees joining guided explorations of innovations and emerging trends. These tours provided valuable insights, enriching the ISE experience and ensuring visitors gained a comprehensive view of the latest advancements shaping the industry.

“This week was a living example of connections restored. This is what drives our industry forward – professionals coming together to learn from each other and experience the latest innovations,” said AVIXA President & CEO David Labuskes, CTS, CAE, RCDD. “The AVIXA team was proud to put together a wide-ranging programme, from in-depth summits to interactive sessions at Xchange LIVE and broadcast AV on display at the AVIXA TV Studio. ISE goes by in days, but the impact is immeasurable.”

Daryl Friedman, global president & CEO of CEDIA, said: “ISE is always a highlight of the year for CEDIA and myself. This year was no exception. One of my greatest takeaways was the opportunity to connect with our global membership at the CEDIA Annual Meeting, where we celebrated our collective achievements and discussed the future of our industry. It was inspiring to meet face-to-face with integrators and manufacturers from around the world, reinforcing the strength and reach of our community. And, of course, experiencing the latest advancements in smart home technology firsthand was truly exhilarating – seeing innovation come to life on the show floor reaffirms why CEDIA is at the heart of this rapidly evolving industry.”

ISE 2026 takes place from 3-6 February 2026, at Fira de Barcelona, Gran Via.
