FORTÉ to Attend ISE 2026 in Barcelona

Subject Matter Experts Participate with GPA to Demonstrate How Solutions Transform the Modern Workplace

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FORTÉ announced today its participation at ISE 2026 taking place February 3-6 in Barcelona. ISE is the world’s largest audiovisual and systems integration exhibition. FORTÉ will collaborate with GPA to engage with customers, partners, and industry leaders from around the world.

Subject matter experts from FORTÉ and GPA are available at the STIM | GPA Stand 2P700 in Hall 2. In addition, company representatives will participate in exclusive meetings and presentations hosted in the GPA Global Lounge, located in the Europa Suite outside Hall 2. FORTÉ Velocity™ demonstrations will be held in room (E47-48).

At Stand 2P700, Brennan McReynolds, Microsoft’s Product Strategy Lead for Microsoft Places, will join Jason Moulden, Vice President of Intelligent Workplace at FORTÉ, for two unique sessions focused on Microsoft’s solution that is enabling the AI-Powered Workplace.

• Wednesday, February 4, at 2 p.m. – “From Deployment to Impact: Practical Insights on Microsoft Places.” Learn how organizations using Microsoft Places drive ROI by reclaiming space, reducing costs, improving coordination, and using metrics to turn hybrid work into a strategic advantage.
• Thursday, February 5, at 10 a.m. - “The Human Side of Hybrid: Change Management for Microsoft Places.” This session explores the human side of Microsoft Places, aligning teams, shaping routines, and using pilots, champions, and KPIs to drive intentional, equitable hybrid work and measurable ROI through behavior change.

“The recent announcement from Microsoft that expands Places access across core Microsoft 365 and Teams licenses, removes one of the biggest barriers to enterprise adoption,” said Moulden. “This change enables organizations to deploy workplace coordination capabilities at scale – connecting people, spaces, and services with intelligence and precision. When tools like Places, shared space management, and Microsoft Teams virtual events are easier to access, businesses will move faster.”

Moulden will also present a parallel session on Microsoft Copilot on Wednesday, February 4, at 11:00 a.m. titled, “The AI-Powered Workplace: Copilot Strategies That Move the Needle.” During the session, he will outline how Microsoft Copilot can boost productivity and demonstrate practical adoption strategies and actionable workplace improvements.

In addition to in-booth presentations at ISE, three expert-led presentations will be held in the GPA Global Lounge, including:

• Feb. 3, Noon - 1:30 p.m.: Ilya Bukshteyn, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Teams Calling, Devices, and Premium Experiences
• Feb. 4, Noon - 2 p.m.: Modern Work Transformation Panel Discussion
• Feb. 5, Noon - 2 p.m.: “Reshaping Sustainability in the AV Industry”

“ISE provides a powerful platform to connect with global customers and partners,” said Keith Yandell, Executive Vice President of Innovation at FORTÉ. “With GPA, we are able to share information about new technology solutions our global customers need to collaborate and enhance productivity at global scale.”

FORTÉ’s participation in ISE 2026 reinforces the company’s strategic commitment to deliver scalable, secure, and future-ready collaboration solutions to multinational organizations operating across regions and markets.
