At ISE 2026 you'll find the Audio Zone in Halls 7 and 8.1, and the Lighting & Staging Zone in Halls 6 and 8.1.
Hall 8.0 will play host to 21 Demo Room experiences across the four days of the show.
AUDIO ZONE
Audio is key to a total integrated AV experience, whatever the setting. That’s why the ISE Audio Zone is packed with solutions for every market sector for all sizes of project and any type of application. ISE 2026 covers the entire audio signal chain from microphones to loudspeakers and everything in between.
Attracting and retaining audiences at theatres, music venues and houses of worship requires operators to continually raise the bar on the quality and engagement of the experiences they create. This translates to more and more opportunity for pro AV as venues seek to use technology to raise their game.
ISE SOUND EXPERIENCE
The ISE Sound Experience is a favourite attraction for attendees. This year, Hall 8.0 will play host to 21 Demo Room experiences across the four days of the show. Ranging from 120sqm to 420sqm in size, these rooms present the latest in audio technology to attendees.
Alongside this, ISE's popular Outdoor Demo experience returns to the festival-like area between Halls 3 and 4. This unique stage enables attendees to enjoy multiple audio brands throughout the day in a relaxed outdoor environment.
New for 2026, our Listening Suites bring eight premium residential audio brands to the ears of attendees. These new spaces are located in CC2, close to Hall 2 and the East Access of Fira de Barcelona Gran Via.
LIGHTING & STAGING ZONE
Lighting and staging solutions are deployed across live events and in fixed installations. The two markets enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship.
Many manufacturers are able to make their R&D budgets go further by deploying their technologies in both markets. In addition, the events world’s shorter timescales mean that new technologies and solutions often get added to the inventory of rental houses for use in live events before they are specified by integrators for fixed installs.
Whether it’s concerts, music festivals, sporting events or product launches, visitors want to be wowed. As the venues and events sector continues to strengthen, audience expectations continue to rise unabated.
