For the world of smart buildings and cybersecurity, ISE 2026 promises more than evolution, it is a leap into the future. Key conferences include the Smart Building Summit, spotlighting how technology is reshaping where we live, work, and connect, and the CyberSecurity Summit. 

ISE 2026: Inaugural CyberSecurity Summit 

A major new addition for the 2026 content programme, the CyberSecurity Summit is scheduled for Thursday, 5 February 2026. It will address the challenges facing the industry, as digital threats increasingly impact critical infrastructure, smart buildings, venues, and public services. As AV systems become increasingly networked and embedded in enterprise, public sector, and venue environments, they are exposed to the same vulnerabilities as traditional IT infrastructure, making cybersecurity a business-critical priority. 

Smart Building Solutions on Display

Visitors will see how integrated systems can transform buildings into responsive ecosystems. Demonstrations will reveal spaces where lighting, power, audio, and security interact seamlessly in real time. Key exhibitors include Technology Integration Partners (2J500), who will present a portfolio of design-focused technologies, including Domotz, Russound, and D-Tools, emphasising the interplay between smart power management and precise network monitoring. ADI | Snap One + Control4 (2J150) will introduce robust platforms for networked control, automation, and remote management, supporting a wide spectrum of connected devices and use cases. The KNX Association (2J300) will showcase the latest in building control standards, setting benchmarks for interoperability, automation, and personalisation. 

Smart Spaces & Cybersecurity Mega Trends

All this feeds into two of ISE’s defining mega trends for 2026: Smart Spaces and Cybersecurity. These are environments that adapt to people, integrate devices and data, and balance efficiency with wellbeing. At ISE 2026, you’ll see how the smart building ecosystem is pushing beyond boundaries and the critical need for cybersecurity measures to protect them.

AI Trailblazing Keynote, Sol Rashidi

Sol Rashidi, the world’s first Chief AI Officer for enterprises, will headline ISE on Wednesday, 5 February 2026. Her keynote, ‘The AI Reality Check: What It Takes to Scale and the Future of Leadership,’ will expose the realities of AI beyond the hype, offering practical frameworks and highlighting the importance of AI governance and cybersecurity for successful scaling.
