FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
BARCELONA, 18 December 2025: Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) has announced that Connected Classroom, powered by Logitech, is back for its second year at ISE 2026. This engaging 120 sqm immersive showcase in Hall 2 features four interactive zones, each tailored to different educational needs.
The debut of Connected Classroom at ISE 2025 attracted considerable attention from visitors who enjoyed getting hands-on with technology within the immersive classroom setting. The idea was sparked by Jason Whitcomb, founder at Kinetic Culture, and product marketing expert, Jeff Boggess. ISE, in partnership with Logitech, then brought the concept to life at ISE.
“The Connected Classroom began as a coffee chat with Mike Blackman and a shared belief that the AV community could leave a positive and lasting mark on Barcelona and beyond. From that conversation grew something far greater than a showcase at ISE, it became a bridge between industry innovation and classrooms around the world.” commented Jason Whitcomb.
Shaping the Future of Learning
At ISE 2026, the Connected Classroom will demonstrate how integrated AV and collaboration technologies directly benefit both teachers and students. From simplifying lesson delivery and enabling seamless hybrid teaching to fostering active, social learning, the showcase highlights how technology can enhance engagement and accessibility in every type of classroom. Visitors can experience hands-on solutions such as Logitech’s Rally Camera Streamline Kit and Reach for video-enabled learning, Mevo for student content creation, and MX Ink for immersive AR/VR exploration. With collaborative furniture, interactive displays, and streaming tools, the Connected Classroom offers a clear vision of how technology can make learning more dynamic, inclusive, and effective.
As returning headline sponsor, Logitech sees the project as both an innovation platform and an opportunity to understand evolving educational needs. “Education is one of the most exciting growth areas for Logitech,” said Gaurav Bradoo, Head of Product & Portfolio at Logitech. “The Connected Classroom allows us to show how our solutions support teachers and empower students across diverse learning environments. The conversations we have here provide meaningful insight into how education is changing globally, insights that continue to influence our product development.”
A Lasting Legacy
In addition to highlighting emerging EdTech innovations, Connected Classroom demonstrates ISE’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility, with a substantial portion of its featured technology being donated to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and UNICEF’s Giga project, whose goal is to get every classroom in the world online. Following ISE 2025, over 30 pieces of Logitech equipment from the Connected Classroom were donated to Giga’s Connectivity Center to help stakeholders advance their digital transformation journeys in education.
Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Events, said: “Connected Classroom is far more than a showcase of what’s possible with technology, it’s also a commitment to making a difference. By donating to the Giga programme, we are helping ensure that children everywhere have access to the tools they need to learn, grow and thrive. This legacy is at the heart of what ISE stands for.”
Combining immersive experiences and cutting-edge technology, Connected Classroom is set to be one of the standout features of ISE 2026.
