There’s no better way to start 2025 than talking about the future of tech in the beautiful city of Barcelona, and you can take part too. That’s because Techradar will be hosting a live Future Panel Discussion at ISE 2025 in Barcelona on the 4th of February where our panel of experts will reveal the innovations that matter most and where they’re going to take us next.
That’s not the only reason to attend ISE 2025, although we think it’s a pretty good one. ISE is the leading event for the AV industry, and this year’s event will feature ground-breaking product launches, expert insights and inspiring keynotes from across the industry. And it’s all taking place in Barcelona, whose historic buildings will be transformed with astonishing projection mapping displays for the duration of the event.
How you can discover the future
The exciting live panel discussion will be followed by a live audience Q&A on the future of tech, and it’ll be hosted by our very own managing editor of lifestyle, Josephine Watson. She’ll be joined by a panel of the most insightful futurists and technology experts including the globally acclaimed digital analyst and visionary Brian Solis; the innovative multimedia artist, ISE 2025 keynote speaker and chosen artists for this year’s projection mapping at world-heritage Casa Batlló Quayola; and Fardad Zabetian, global business technologist and CEO of KUDO, whose AI-based real-time language interpretation will be used across the ISE’s many stages and events.
The panel discussion will ask the experts: what will the world look like in 20 or 30 years time? How will technology shape our world and evolve around us – and what effects will it have on the live events, concerts and sports of the future? How will technology transform our lives for the better?
The destination for innovation
ISE is where the future happens, and its 2024 event was a real record-breaker: 74,000 people from 162 countries came to see innovation in person, the most visitors in the event’s 20-year history. And this year’s event promises to be even better, with cutting-edge tech from over 1,400 exhibitors and an exceptional content programme too. From smart home tech to high-end audio, education and learning solutions to projectors, it’s where you can get up close and personal with the very latest tech and get expert insight from industry insiders too.
ISE is much more than a trade show forum. It’s where the audiovisual, systems integration, lighting, live events and IT industries all come together, and when you factor in its online audience as well as its in-person attendees it has an audience impact of over 1.387 billion people.
People come to ISE for three key reasons: to be inspired; to explore trends and developments in the industry for their professional development; and to discover new equipment, products, services and suppliers. It’s an exceptional event, and it’s exceptionally affordable too.
