Following an earlier announcement, ISE has shared further details of Connected Classroom, which will return for its second year at ISE 2026. Powered by Logitech, the immersive showcase in Hall 2 will feature four interactive zones, each tailored to different educational needs. ISE decided to bring back Connected Classroom after it attracted considerable attention from visitors at ISE 2025.
The showcase was originally designed to demonstrate how integrated AV and collaboration technologies benefit teachers and students. The concept was sparked by Jason Whitcomb, founder at Kinetic Culture, a creative and experiential marketing company, and product marketing expert Jeff Boggess, with ISE and Logitech bringing it to life.
At the 2026 show, the 120sqm space will feature hands-on solutions including Logitech’s Rally Camera Streamline Kit and Reach for video-enabled learning, Mevo for student content creation, and MX Ink for immersive AR/VR exploration. Collaborative furniture, interactive displays, and streaming tools are intended to show how technology can make learning more dynamic, inclusive, and effective.
Jason Whitcomb, founder at Kinetic Culture, said: “The Connected Classroom began as a coffee chat with Mike Blackman and a shared belief that the AV community could leave a positive and lasting mark on Barcelona and beyond. From that conversation grew something far greater than a showcase at ISE, it became a bridge between industry innovation and classrooms around the world.”
Gaurav Bradoo, head of product and portfolio at Logitech, added: “Education is one of the most exciting growth areas for Logitech. The Connected Classroom allows us to show how our solutions support teachers and empower students across diverse learning environments. The conversations we have here provide meaningful insight into how education is changing globally, insights that continue to influence our product development.”
A substantial portion of the featured technology will be donated to the International Telecommunication Union and UNICEF’s Giga project, which aims to connect every classroom in the world online. Following ISE 2025, over 30 pieces of Logitech equipment from the Connected Classroom were donated to Giga’s Connectivity Centre.
Mike Blackman, managing director of Integrated Systems Events, added: “Connected Classroom is far more than a showcase of what’s possible with technology, it’s also a commitment to making a difference. By donating to the Giga programme, we are helping ensure that children everywhere have access to the tools they need to learn, grow and thrive.”
ISE 2026 takes place from February 3-6 at Fira de Barcelona.
