The ProAV trade show ISE is growing and evolving: in 2025, there will be 8 halls, additional special zones, and a new floor plan. This guide gives you all the details on the exhibition halls, travel information, and opening times.
ISE is returning to Barcelona for the fourth time, from February 4 to 7. Over the years, the largest ProAV trade show has grown and now spans eight halls with several special zones. This year, new exhibition space has been added, and there have been some rearrangements within the halls. Here’s everything you need to know about the exhibition grounds, halls, how to get there, and the opening times.
Which halls are there?
Hall 1: Unified Communication (UC) & Education Tech
Hall 2: Unified Communication (UC) & Education Tech/ Residential & Smart Building
Hall 3: Multi-Technology
Hall 4: Digital Signage & DooH/ AV Broadcast
Hall 5: Multi-Technology
Hall 6: Lighting & Staging
Hall 7: Audio

What’s new in 2025?
Some areas have expanded, others have moved, and new ones have been added. In Hall 1, where Lighting & Staging was located last year, UC & Education Tech has now grown further. Lighting & Staging has moved to Hall 6.
This is great news for the digital signage industry: It is relocating from Hall 6 to the more central Hall 4, bringing it closer to the two main entrances – South and East.
New this year is Hall 8.1, where four special zones have been set up alongside exhibitors from various sectors:
- Discovery Zone – start-ups and first-time exhibitors
- Robotics and Drone Arena – the world of robotics and drone technology
- E-Sports Arena – the latest e-sports technologies
- Avixa TV Studio – livestreams, interviews and workshops

The quickest way between the halls?
The Fira Gran Via is large – getting from hall 1 to hall 6 can quickly take up 20 minutes. To move a bit more efficiently between the halls, you can use the upper walkway. It is connected to the halls via escalators and conveyor belts. It partly runs over the roofs of the exhibition center. Conference rooms are also located on this upper floor.
