Following an earlier announcement, ISE has shared further details of the EdTech Congress Barcelona 2026, which it will co-host with EduTech Cluster and Fira de Barcelona. Now in its 12th edition, the event will take place on 4-5 February 2026 at the Palau de Congressos, Barcelona, running alongside ISE.
The organisations say they aim to broaden the event’s international reach and create a platform for innovation in education and professional development. The 2026 congress will focus on AI and its ability to enhance education processes and environments.
The previous edition at the beginning of 2025 hosted 52 exhibitors and welcomed 1,643 attendees consisting of education decision-makers and public authorities.
ISE says it plans to continue investment into the edtech market, with initiatives such as the Connected Classroom making a return for ISE 2026. The Connected Classroom, powered by Logitech, debuted at ISE 2025 as an immersive showcase in a 120sqm classroom setup, highlighting innovations in connected learning.
Ramon Eixarch, president of EduTech Cluster, said: “This collaboration is a milestone for the European EdTech ecosystem. By joining forces with ISE and Fira de Barcelona, we are creating a global platform where educational leaders, innovators, and technology providers can come together to shape meaningful, scalable solutions. Our focus on AI for the 2026 edition reflects our belief that technology, when used with purpose, can empower teachers, engage students, and close learning gaps worldwide.”
Constantí Serrallonga, general manager of Fira de Barcelona, added: “At Fira de Barcelona we are excited to take this project forward as it aligns with our core values of promoting innovation in fields with a high impact potential. What’s more, we consider it a privilege to act as a bridge between two professional sectors, audiovisual and education, so that, together with the latest technology, we can drive changes that take society forward.”
Mike Blackman, managing director at Integrated Systems Events, added: “I’m delighted to share this collaboration, which underscores our commitment to advancing innovation and thought leadership at the intersection of education and technology. By co-hosting the event, we aim to introduce attendees to forward-thinking concepts and transformative products that can enrich learning environments. Together, we are creating a platform that pushes the boundaries of 21st-century learning and inspires the design of the classrooms of tomorrow.”
