ISE 2026 drew a record 92,170 visitors to its largest show floor yet

ISE 2026 drew a record 92,170 visitors and 1,751 exhibitors to Fira Barcelona Gran Via on Feb. 3-6, 2026, according to Commercial Integrator. AV over IP was the common thread in the product news.

  • 01The first 48 IPMX-certified products, unveiled by AIMS at ISE 2026, turn AV-over-IP interoperability from a vendor promise into a checkable list that can be written into a signage or meeting-room specification.

Enterprises still put one or two people in meeting rooms built for eight

Enterprises still put one or two people in meeting rooms built for eight

At Enterprise Connect 2026 in Las Vegas, Cisco's Rich Bayes said offices still put one or two people in conference rooms built for eight. Enterprise Connect's Eric Krapf heard the same complaint across the March show. The pattern points to too few small video rooms, not bad hardware, and IT/AV pros are now focusing more on which platforms run in rooms than on camera and microphone choices, according to Enterprise Connect.

  • 01Standardized room builds move the buying decision away from camera and microphone models and toward which platforms run in the room and whether to allow BYOD, according to consultant Andy Howard of Howard Associates.
  • 02If occupancy data shows large rooms routinely hosting one or two people, the evidence from Enterprise Connect 2026 points to adding small video-enabled spaces rather than putting new gear in the big rooms.
  • 03Multi-camera AI directors have grown from two front-of-room cameras to more than six across four walls, per Gartner's Christopher Trueman in No Jitter; David Danto's next step is microphones and cameras hidden in ceiling tiles and picture frames.
