ISE to launch new CyberSecurity Summit for 2026

Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) has announced the launch of a new CyberSecurity Summit, a new addition to its 2026 content programme.

ISE 2026, which is touted as the world's largest trade show for the AV and systems integration industries will take place from February 3^rd to 6^th, 2026, at the Fira Barcelona – Gran Via venue in Barcelona, Spain.

Scheduled for Thursday, 5 February 2026, the CyberSecurity Summit will tackle what is seen as the escalating challenges confronting many industries as digital threats increasingly impact critical infrastructure, smart buildings, venues, and public services.

The summit will be chaired by Pere Ferrer i Sastre, former director general of the Catalan Police, who has notable experience in public security, digital transformation, regulatory frameworks, and critical infrastructure management.

The event will include discussions addressing a range of emerging digital threats to the AV and systems integration sectors.

The announcement of the summit comes during European Cybersecurity Awareness month, a continent-wide initiative coordinated by ENISA, which now operates as the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, alongside the European Commission.

The awareness month aims to promote safer digital practices across businesses, institutions, and individuals in the wake of cybercrime surging across Europe and globally.

Mike Blackman, managing director of Integrated Systems Events, says: “Cybersecurity is no longer optional – it lies at the heart of every AV innovation.

“ISE’s CyberSecurity Summit brings together the brightest minds in our industry to confront today’s digital threats head-on and turn them into strategic advantages. By sharing actionable insights, proven strategies, and real-world experience, we will empower AV professionals to protect critical systems, lead with confidence, and build a safer, smarter future for the entire industry.”
