Venue entry requirements and safety measures
Following our successful events in both Barcelona and London in 2021, we will again be deploying Covid safety measures to ensure each other’s safety. For ISE 2022, these will involve the use of our new ISE app.
Anyone that wants to enter Fira Gran Via during the four days of ISE 2022 (1-4 February) must have a validated badge on the ISE 2022 app. Once you have registered for the show, in order to get your badge validated, you will need to upload one of the following to the app in either English or Spanish:
- Proof of vaccination against COVID-19
- Proof of recovery from COVID-19, or
- Proof of a negative PCR or Rapid Antigen Test
People who upload proof of a negative PCR or Rapid Antigen Test are granted access to ISE 2022 for the day they have tested negative plus the following day. Once this has expired, a new proof of a negative PCR or Rapid Antigen Test must be uploaded.
Once uploaded, these documents will be validated by our medical partner Quiron Salut prevencion.
ISE 2022 – the official show app will be available to download from app stores from 17 January.

We cannot stress enough the importance of keeping each other safe. So please consider the following suggestions to be of the utmost importance:
- If you are feeling unwell, or have COVID-19 related symptoms, please stay at home
- Please test yourself regularly; in case of any doubt, consider taking a PCR or Antigen Test
- While in Barcelona, please take Catalonia’s COVID-19 health and safety measures into account
