Spain – The live events industry is evolving fast, driven by advances in production technology and growing demand for experiences that feel more immersive, connected and memorable. From arena tours to corporate events, producers are combining sound, light, staging, video and content in new ways to create greater impact and deliver showstopping content.
Returning to Fira de Barcelona, Gran Via, from 2-5 February 2027, Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2027 is built around a single idea: When Worlds Unite. For the live events community, that concept has never felt more relevant. As the boundaries between AV, broadcast, content creation and experiential design continue to blur, the most exciting developments are emerging where these areas meet.
At ISE 2027, you’ll join the innovators, creators and industry leaders pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
When worlds unite…
…Live Events come alive. Across eight exhibition halls and seven Technology Zones, a content programme, Tech Tours, live demos and more, ISE continues to put attendees at the forefront of what’s next. Connecting established global brands with start-ups and emerging technologies, and leading industry voices with new talent, ISE unites the technologies, creativity and expertise shaping the future of live events.
Head through the North Access to discover the home of the live events industry at ISE 2027. The Lighting & Staging Zone (Halls 6 and 8.1) and the Audio Zone (Halls 7 and 8.1) spotlight the tools and techniques powering the next generation of live event production, from lighting and control systems to rigging, staging equipment, motion tracking, video mapping and holography. Exhibiting brands include some of the biggest names in the industry: Robe, Clay Paky, CHAUVET Professional, Ayrton, Elation Professional and GLP among lighting fixture manufacturers; MA Lighting and ETC for control; TAIT and Layher for staging and rigging; and Vectorworks for design. Together, they showcase solutions built for everything from major stadium concerts and touring productions to festivals, brand activations and temporary venues.
ISE Live Events Stage
For 2027, the Live Events Stage relocates to Hall 8.1. Known as the central hub for live events at ISE, the stage will feature a dedicated free-to-attend programme of sessions all week. On Tuesday to Thursday it will present insights from leading industry practitioners and unmissable networking opportunities. This will be followed by ‘Fast Forward Friday’ content aimed at the next generation of live event professionals to equip them with the knowledge and insights to get started in the industry.

Where creativity meets technology. Spark 2027 takes place 3 and 4 February with a bigger venue at Fira Montjuïc. This edition features two stages, a deeper content programme, live showcases and immersive experiences, and it’s just a short shuttle ride from the Gran Via halls.
For live events professionals, Spark offers a useful perspective on how emerging tools, immersive content and new creative workflows are influencing the way experiences are delivered.
