Visitors come to ISE for one main reason: to understand which technologies will genuinely make a difference to their organisation. Whether it’s improving communication, simplifying management, or creating better user experiences, the focus for 2026 is on solutions that deliver long-term value and operational efficiency.

Here are the key technology trends that will dominate ISE 2026 and how Clevertouch is addressing them with products and platforms designed for real-world use.

1. Digital Signage That Works Across Every Location

Signage has become a critical communication tool for organisations across corporate, healthcare, government, manufacturing, transport, hospitality, and retail sectors. The need for instant, reliable, and centrally controlled messaging is now greater than ever.

What the trend means for organisations

Modern signage must offer:

• Centralised cloud control

• Instant updates across multi-site estates

• Consistent branding

• Automated playlists and scheduling

• Sector-specific layouts

• The ability for non-technical teams to publish content

• Reliable, secure hosting

How Clevertouch supports this

CleverLive is built around these requirements. It provides:

• A cloud-based platform for creating and publishing content in minutes

• Templates suited to different industries and use cases

• Role-based access for localised or departmental control

• Support for QR-triggered content, live feeds, and responsive layouts

• Unified control for signage, LED walls, room booking panels, and interactive displays

Organisations looking for a dependable communication tool can run their entire estate from a single platform, significantly reducing workload for both IT and marketing teams.

2. Smarter, More Secure Interactive Displays

Interactive displays continue to play an important role in meeting rooms, collaboration spaces, training environments, and hybrid working. The focus for 2026 is on performance, security, ease of use, and long-term product lifespan.

What organisations expect

• Fast, reliable performance

• Simple user experience for all staff

• Strong security and controlled app access

• Compatibility with all major conferencing tools

• Remote management for IT teams

• OTA software updates

• Long lifecycle and reduced maintenance

How Clevertouch supports this

At ISE 2026, Clevertouch will showcase:

• IMPACT Lux with Android 15 and Google EDLA certification for secure, future-ready performance

• Pro Series 3 for organisations wanting reliable meeting room technology with low total cost of ownership

• Clevershare for wireless casting from laptops, tablets, and mobile devices

• MDM tools to lock settings, push updates, install apps, and manage displays remotely

These features create consistency across meeting spaces, reduce the need for IT intervention, and support hybrid teams with reliable, easy-to-use technology.

3. Unified AV Ecosystems Instead of Isolated Products

Many organisations now struggle with fragmented solutions: one system for signage, another for meeting rooms, another for room booking, and another for device management. The trend for 2026 is a clear shift toward unified platforms.

What organisations need

• A single platform for signage, displays, and room systems

• Consistent user experience across every screen

• Centralised IT control

• Fewer vendors and simplified procurement

• Scalable systems that grow with organisational needs

How Clevertouch supports this

Clevertouch offers a connected ecosystem managed through CleverLive and MDM:

• Interactive displays

• Digital signage

• LED walls

• Room booking panels

• High-bright screens and totems

• Wireless casting

• Remote device management

Everything connects through one environment. This reduces complexity, improves staff adoption, and ensures consistent communication across every part of the organisation.

4. Sustainability as a Core Purchasing Priority

Sustainability is no longer a secondary consideration. Many organisations now require suppliers to demonstrate environmental responsibility, reduced energy usage, and lifecycle value.

What organisations want

• Technology that consumes less energy

• Longer product lifespans

• Recycled and recyclable materials

• Reduced maintenance requirement

• Remote management to minimise travel

• Clear sustainability reporting

How Clevertouch supports this

Clevertouch integrates sustainability into every stage of design, manufacturing, and product lifecycle:

• Motion sensors and energy-saving features

• Automated scheduling for power control

• OTA updates to extend the lifespan of hardware

• Packaging made from at least 90% recycled materials, increasing to 100% by end of 2026

• Repair and refurbishment programmes

• WEEE-compliant Bring Back recycling scheme

These initiatives directly support organisational ESG and CSR goals while improving long-term value.

5. High-Impact Visual Experiences for Public and Corporate Spaces

ISE 2026 will feature significant growth in large-format, high-impact visual technologies such as LED walls, interactive totems, and high-bright window displays. Organisations are using these solutions for branding, customer engagement, internal communication, and wayfinding.

What organisations are looking for

• Larger, more impactful display options

• Simple content scheduling and deployment

• Reliable 24/7 operation

• Integrated management with existing signage

• High brightness for retail or public spaces

How Clevertouch supports this

Clevertouch now offers:

• CL Pro commercial displays for 24/7 operation

• High-bright screens suitable for retail, transport, and public environments

• LED walls managed through CleverLive

• Totems for visitor engagement, advertising, and wayfinding

• A full content management workflow through CleverLive

This allows organisations to scale from a single screen to a complete visual environment using one platform.
