Beyond booking. Into intelligence: Joan at ISE 2026

This February, we’re heading to Barcelona for ISE 2026. The theme this year is Push Beyond, a challenge that feels like it was written specifically for the chapter Joan is starting right now.

For years, Joan has been the reliable hand in the office. We’ve focused on the essentials: booking a desk or an asset, finding a meeting room, or welcoming a guest. It’s simple, it works, and it’s built around the way people actually move through their day.

But the way we work is shifting, and simply reserving a space isn't enough anymore.

We’re moving Beyond Booking and into Intelligence.

 

Two booths, more solutions, and in-depth presentations 

Joan shows up at two booths at ISE 2026. Each location focuses on a different part of the Joan Workplace solution.

Hall 2, Booth 2L330: The Joan all-in-one platform 

The first booth demonstrates Joan Workplace as a unified system where room booking, desk management, parking and asset reservation, and visitor management connect on a single platform.

What you'll see:

  • World-first ePaper visitor tags making their debut as the first visitor management tags of their kind in the industry
  • Exclusive prototype reveal of the new Joan App, the central touchpoint for every daily office interaction and communication
  • Live Joan AI Agent sessions showing exactly how intelligence moves beyond booking to act as a true office facilitator
  • Joan Awards 2026 winners announcement celebrating the partners who push workplace innovation forward
  • And many more surprises at the booth!

And because we want you to experience our novelties firsthand, we’re running a giveaway at the booth. You could walk away with your own ePaper visitor tags and a 6-month Joan subscription to get your office up to speed immediately.

You can grab a free ticket here, using the ISE260634 code.

Why the Joan Workplace platform booth at ISE 2026

Hall 2 booth demonstrates how Joan Workplace eliminates the frustration of managing offices across disconnected tools.

Integration that actually works

Joan Workplace connects with the calendar platforms and workplace tools your teams already use. Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Teams, information syncs automatically. No duplicate entries, no manual updates, no coordination emails asking who booked what.

Analytics that change decisions

Workplace teams gain visibility into what actually happens versus what they assumed happens. Which conference rooms sit empty during peak hours? Which desks never get reserved? Where do booking conflicts create bottlenecks?

The data answers those questions and helps teams reconfigure layouts, reallocate resources, and justify workplace investments with concrete usage patterns instead of guesswork.

Joan AI enters the workplace

Want to see what Joan AI looks like in practice?

We’re running a session to show how Joan AI acts like an extra employee, handling the little things like bookings and team logistics so you don't have to.

  • Where: Europa Suites E49/50 (1st floor), Fira Barcelona
  • When: Tuesday, 3 Feb at 3 p.m. & Wednesday, 4 Feb at 10 a.m.
Save your spot for the AI demo here.

Your office in your pocket

The new Joan App is the central hub for every daily interaction in the office. As the primary touchpoint for bookings and team communication, it acts as a bridge between your digital tools and the physical workspace. It is designed to be the remote control for your workday, removing the friction from navigating a busy office and making the entire experience feel intuitive.

The Workplace digital signage booth

Hall 4 booth also demonstrates how Joan Workplace digital signage moves information through office spaces.

Workplace digital signage replaces static posters with dynamic displays that update instantly. Meeting room schedules, wayfinding maps, and company announcements appear exactly where people need them; conference rooms, lobbies, common areas, and break rooms.

Administrators update content from one central dashboard. Changes appear immediately across all connected displays without printing materials or visiting individual screens.

If you’ve ever felt that managing office screens is too complicated, this is for you. We’ll show you how our CMS helps teams create and display content on ePaper and LCD screens in just a few minutes, no specialist skills or training needed.

  • Where: Joan WDS booth, Hall 4 (4N150)

  • When: Daily, 3–5 February, at 3 p.m.

Register for the Workplace digital signage power hour here.
