Now in its 12th edition, EdTech Congress Barcelona is set to take place on Feb. 4–5, 2026, at the Palau de Congressos in Barcelona, running alongside Integrated Systems Europe (ISE). The two-day event, co-hosted with ISE, aims to expand its international reach and establish itself as a key platform for exploring the intersection of education and technology.
ISE’s involvement marks a significant milestone in the evolution of EdTech Congress Barcelona, signaling a renewed focus on innovation in education and professional development. Building on the success of the 2025 edition, which featured 52 exhibitors and attracted 1,643 attendees, including education leaders and public authorities, the 2026 event is poised for further growth.

With its expanded scope and focus, the event aims to foster collaboration and drive meaningful advancements in the global education sector.

Ramon Eixarch, President of EduTech Cluster, says, “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, adds, “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.”
This strategic partnership reinforces ISE’s commitment to Barcelona and its evolving legacy within the city. ISE plans to continue its investment into the edtech market, recognizing its growing importance, with initiatives such as the Connected Classroom, making a return for ISE 2026. Debuting at ISE 2025, the Connected Classroom, powered by Logitech, was an immersive showcase experience, boasting the latest edtech innovations in a 120sqm classroom set up, highlighting the possibilities for the future of ‘connected’ learning.
“I’m delighted to share this collaboration, which underscores our commitment to advancing innovation and thought leadership at the intersection of education and technology,” comments Mike Blackman, managing director at Integrated Systems Events. “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.”
