ISE (ISE 2026) is the world’s leading trade show for the audiovisual and systems integration industry. Held annually in Barcelona, the event brings together manufacturers, integrators, designers, consultants, and end users from across the globe to explore the latest innovations in professional AV, digital signage, unified communications, smart buildings, and immersive technologies.
Combining a vast exhibition floor with live demonstrations, conferences, and networking opportunities, ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) serves as a key meeting point for discovering trends, launching new solutions, and shaping the future of the industry.
Why Does ISE 2026 Matter This Year
ISE 2026 arrives at a pivotal moment for the audiovisual and systems integration industry, as technology, creativity, and connectivity continue to converge at an unprecedented pace. More than a showcase of new products, this year’s edition reflects how AV has become a core enabler of experiences across sectors such as live events, corporate environments, retail, education, entertainment, and smart buildings. With a strong focus on innovation, scalability, and real-world application, ISE 2026 provides a platform for the industry to address current challenges, explore emerging technologies, and redefine how spaces are designed, built, and experienced.
The show also plays a key role in setting the tone for the year ahead, bringing together global decision-makers, designers, integrators, and manufacturers at the very start of the European trade-fair calendar. From immersive displays and modular solutions to sustainability, cybersecurity, and intelligent systems, ISE 2026 highlights not only what’s new, but what truly matters for future-proofing projects and creating impactful, engaging environments. In this context, ISE is not just an exhibition – it’s a strategic meeting point where ideas turn into solutions and industry direction is shaped.
Our Presence at ISE 2026
ISE 2026 is set to welcome tens of thousands of professionals from around the world, bringing together over a thousand exhibitors across multiple halls at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via. As the largest and most influential event in the professional AV and systems integration calendar, the show spans everything from live events and digital signage to smart buildings, immersive environments, and integrated technologies.
Within this global setting, AV Drop will once again be present at Hall 6, stand D300, showcasing how modular structures can support bold, flexible, and visually impactful AV solutions. ISE 2026 provides the perfect international platform to connect with partners, explore new collaborations, and demonstrate how adaptable systems play a key role in shaping the future of event and experience design.
What You'll Get From Us at ISE
Across the fourdays of the show, we’ll be showcasing the latest developments in our modular backdrop system, a versatile solution trusted across a wide range of event and production environments, including conference and congress stages of any scale, corporate events, trade fairs and brand activations, as well as backstage installations and flexible space division.
Designed with efficiency in mind, our system stands out for its tool-free assembly, lightweight components, and exceptional adaptability, allowing teams to build, reconfigure, and dismantle structures in remarkably short timeframes. This makes it an ideal choice for productions operating under tight schedules, complex logistics, and evolving spatial requirements, without compromising on visual impact or structural reliability.
Looking for a smarter, faster, and more sustainable alternative to traditional scenic construction? Let’s talk.
Our Configurator, at ISE
One of the key features on display will be our Configurator — an intuitive tool that enables users to create bespoke stage backdrops in real time.
At a glance, it allows you to:
Set the overall width and height of the structure
Incorporate front or rear projection screens and define their positioning
Automatically generate a detailed PDF including technical drawings and a complete list of required components
Digital tools like the AV Drop Configurator are fast becoming indispensable in event production and technical planning, helping teams streamline workflows, improve accuracy, and minimise on-site adjustments. ISE 2026 provides the perfect setting to showcase how this solution fits seamlessly into the day-to-day work of designers, scenographers, and production professionals.
