Daniel J SaitIntegrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2027 returns to Fira de Barcelona, Gran Via, from 2-5 February, built around a single idea: When Worlds Unite. As residential technology converges with smart buildings, and hospitality markets as well as energy management and connected living tools, smart homes are becoming part of a broader conversation about how spaces respond to their users.

For residential integrators, smart building consultants, architects, interior designers and technology professionals, that shift matters. According to CEDIA data, the residential technology market is estimated at €2.6 billion (£2.2 billion) in the UK alone (CEDIA UK Smart Home Market Analysis Report), with lighting and shading, integrated control systems and home networking representing the largest segments. Homes are no longer defined simply by individual devices or entertainment systems. Increasingly, technology is being considered in terms of the comfort, wellbeing, security, sustainability and simplicity it can deliver across the wider living environment.
Co-owned by CEDIA, ISE 2027 will bring that bigger picture to the show floor. For residential professionals, that creates an opportunity not only to discover what is new within the smart home, but to see how developments across the wider built environment could influence the homes of tomorrow.
A focused Destination
ISE’s Residential & Smart Building Zone in Halls 1 and 2 will create a focused destination where exhibitors are responding to growing demand for smarter spaces, improved energy efficiency and greater connectivity. Key offerings here include access control, environmental management, energy optimisation, smart lighting and shading, security, AV entertainment and connected infrastructure.
The growing convergence of technologies within the home is one of the clearest examples of the show’s 2027 theme in action. Rather than considering products in isolation, visitors to Halls 1 and 2 can compare solutions and approaches while exploring the control platforms, networks and design principles that unite different technologies into cohesive experiences. Residential brands including ADI, Control4, KNX and Lutron will showcase the latest developments in whole-home control and automation, alongside premium audio names such as Sonos, Bang & Olufsen, FOCAL & NAIM, Dali and Genelec.
However, the value extends beyond the solutions on show. Walking throughout the Residential & Smart Building Zone offers a chance to consider some of the bigger questions already shaping residential projects: how technology can be specified earlier, how different systems can work together more intuitively and how connected homes can be designed to deliver long-term value for their users.
Education, Connection and Industry Insight
The ISE Content Programme will connect innovation on the show floor with expert learning and industry insight, helping attendees understand the trends and benchmarks shaping the future of residential project design, delivery and management.
CEDIA will play a central role in the residential strand of the Content Programme to deliver a strong line-up of learning opportunities for smart home professionals. Highlights include:
- CEDIA Smart Home Technology Conference: an opportunity for attendees to build their technical knowledge and connect with peers and exchange ideas. Sessions will explore the technologies and trends shaping the residential integration industry, with the wider programme creating a holistic space for the exchange of practical ideas.
- CEDIA Smart Home Technology Stage (Hall 2): The free-to-attend stage serves as an important stop for technology professionals looking to understand the ideas and issues shaping the sector. The programme will bring together expert speakers and innovators.
- Smart Spaces Megatrend: The Smart Spaces Megatrend will return for 2027, giving visitors a clearer view of the trends driving the industry forward. The 2026 edition explored themes surrounding efficient energy management, AI-driven automation, and cybersecurity for connected environments.
Experience Residential Technology Beyond Halls 1 and 2
