The Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) exhibition kicks off its 21st edition stronger than ever. The global reference event for the audiovisual market, which has been held at Barcelona for the past five years, will bring together 1,605 exhibitors from February 4 to 7, 330 of whom are new, across a space of 92,000 square meters, 20% larger than in 2024.

These record numbers are expected to correlate with audience figures, with a 20% increase in registered attendees compared to last year, when nearly 74,000 people ultimately attended. This increase in registrations suggests a historic visitor count, close to 88,000, although it remains to be seen how many will actually attend the event.
