IS-SKI 2026: New tech, new vendors, new opportunities

ISE 2026 broke its own records: 1,751 exhibitors and 92,170 visitors, the largest show floor in its history. More than 3,500 of you visited the Maverick Après Ski Chalet over the week. We got through 16 kegs of Happy Hour beers and our partners flooded the Fira with exciting news and new product launches.

Logitech: Cameras that think like film directors

Logitech drew strong attention with the launch of its Rally AI and Rally AI Pro cameras, delivering adaptive, film-style framing for larger meeting spaces. By intelligently tracking speakers and groups in real time, the cameras create a more natural, production-quality experience, a significant upgrade for high-impact environments.

With flexible mounting and Logitech Sync integration for analytics and device management, they combine performance with practicality.

Meanwhile, the lively Installation World Cup reminded everyone that behind every seamless meeting is expert craftsmanship, congratulations to Italy’s N&C S.p.A. for taking the title.

Our Collaboration Queen Lian chatted to Thomas Gonfray, Chijioke Meniru, Barny Livermore and Charlotte Hone on the show floor. Take a look…

HP Poly: Mission critical audio 

HP reinforced its collaboration credentials with the debut of the HP Poly Mission Series, a new family of corded USB headsets designed for today’s enterprise environments.

Built with AI-based noise cancellation and super wideband audio, the Mission Series is engineered for clarity where it matters most: customer calls, executive meetings and hybrid workspaces where background noise is inevitable.

One standout feature for partners is a single model certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and Google Voice. For IT teams managing large estates, that means simplified procurement, easier fleet management and streamlined deployment. Takeshi Ishimaru and Richard Kenny talk is through it…

Microsoft: Orchestrating better meetings

Microsoft’s presence this year was unavoidable in the best way. We were proud to neighbour their stand, and together, we brought the message of better meetings to life, quite literally, as a live string quartet serenaded the aisles with Vivaldi. Because if you’re going to talk about “orchestrating better meetings,” you might as well commit to the metaphor.

Throughout the week on their stand, inspirational leaders like Ilya Bukshteyn and Michel Bouman explored the evolution of intelligent collaboration and the expanding role of AI in the workplace.  Meanwhile, Juha Kuosmanen outlined how Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP) is extending into new device categories, reshaping how enterprise hardware is developed and managed.

Sony: Immersive spaces, connected experiences

Under the banner “Empowering Creativity, Enhancing Spaces,” Sony showcased how its professional AV portfolio delivers immersive experiences across corporate, education and retail environments.

The expanded Pro BRAVIA range features a redesigned chassis, refreshed user interface and deep black, non-glare panels, helping bridge the gap between traditional displays and LED solutions for improved visual consistency and performance.

Sony also reinforced its commitment to ecosystem integration and sustainability, highlighting reduced power consumption, increased recycled materials and lifecycle-focused design improvements as part of its Road to Zero initiative.

Zebrix: Platform-led, brand-agnostic innovation

Zebrix also joined our portfolio this year and we showcased their solutions directly on our stand. What they bring is platform-led flexibility with 2 core offerings:

 

  • CONTROL for managing virtually any meeting room environment

 

  • CMS for scalable, SoC-powered digital signage

 

They provide flexible, brand-agnostic software built for the modern workspace. For integrators, that means greater control, scalability and the ability to deliver cohesive experiences across diverse hardware environments.
