ISE 2027 Registration Opens, Show Adds Edtech Congress
2026-10-01 · via invidis
Registration for ISE 2027 is open, giving operators and integrators a date to plan around: Feb. 2-5, 2027, in Barcelona. For anyone who sources media players, displays or CMS platforms, ISE remains the one show where most of the relevant vendors show up under one roof, so the opening of registration is the first concrete marker for 2027 budget and travel planning.
Fira Gran Via stays the main venue, according to the announcement. But the event keeps expanding beyond that single site. ISE will again run the Spark conference at the Fira de Barcelona Montjuïc grounds, and that venue will also host Edtech Congress, which joins ISE for the first time. The addition signals organizers are betting on crossover audiences from education technology, a sector that already overlaps with digital signage in lecture halls, campus wayfinding and classroom displays.
The 2027 theme is "When Worlds Unite," which the show says reflects the continued convergence of pro AV, IT, broadcast, live events, smart buildings and education. Mike Blackman, managing director of Integrated Systems Events, is quoted saying the theme is about a moment when boundaries are disappearing and new connections are creating new possibilities. That is standard trade show framing and reads as marketing language rather than a specific commitment, so attendees will have to judge for themselves whether the floor layout and conference tracks actually deliver more cross-sector content than in past years.
invidis says its readers can get a free ticket using a promo code, which is a routine media partnership perk rather than news about the show itself.
Scale and what is absent
The announcement cites ISE 2026 as drawing a record 92,170 visitors, which it offers as evidence the show keeps growing. That number is useful context for anyone weighing booth costs or travel budgets against expected foot traffic, though the release does not break down how many of those visitors work specifically in digital signage versus broader pro AV, smart building or broadcast segments.
The announcement does not list which digital signage vendors have confirmed booths for 2027, nor does it detail pricing for exhibitors or attendees beyond the registration discount. It also does not specify what content Edtech Congress will bring beyond its presence at the Montjuïc site. Anyone planning a 2027 trip will need to watch for further announcements on exhibitor lists and conference programming as the date approaches.
