Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) is perhaps the single biggest global tradeshow event for the Pro AV crowd. Taking place in Barcelona, Spain, from Feb. 4 — Feb. 7, 2025, the massive event brings together over 1,600 exhibitors and 360 expert speakers at the Fira de Barcelona convention center, transforming the wide, expansive halls into its own bustling city center, all in the name of commercial electronics.
While CE Pro remains a predominantly residential-focused publication, we’re not oblivious to the fact that most CE pros engage in commercial work to help supplement their main business, especially following pandemic shutdowns. In fact, it’s a well-known fact at this point that every integration firm within the CE Pro 100 has at least some component of their business tied to commercial. For this reason, CE Pro has teamed up with our sister publication Commercial Integrator to bring the pros all news from ISE 2025.
So follow along with Commercial Integrator and CE Pro for the latest news and happenings at ISE 2025. We will update this page constantly with show-related information, and once the show kicks off in earnest, you’ll get to see some on the ground action from CE Pro‘s Zachary Comeau and Commercial Integrator’s Dan Ferrisi.
