For the fourth consecutive year, Speechi was at ISE. We’ve been in several halls before. This year, we landed in Hall 2, “Unified Communications & Education Technology.” That’s perfect because we’ve been specializing in education technology for 20 years, and this year, we had a real innovation to present: Speechi Connect.
ISE: “The place to be”
Integrated Systems Europe is a world-renowned trade show (or rather, a Tech Show). People from all nationalities gather there, speaking all kinds of languages, but most importantly, attending showcases from all sorts of companies. At Speechi, we came with a clear goal: to prove that French innovation in education has been pioneering for 20 years—and will continue to be.
📖 A little logbook of our fourth consecutive year
So, we rolled up our sleeves: The tech team doubled (tripled? quadrupled?) its efforts to release the new Speechi Connect features ahead of their spring launch. The product team rushed to patent it. The logistics team prepared the screens, even the ones that hadn’t left our Belgian stock yet. The marketing team designed a stand that could rival any competitor. The sales team planned demos that traced Speechi’s past while writing its future. And off we went—from Lille and Paris to Barcelona ✈️.
Day 0
“And then there was the network…”
I’m cheating a bit because I (Claire, web marketing manager—nice to meet you!) arrived on Monday to set up the booth, but Mika, our marketing director, and Greg, our product owner, were already there on Sunday, carrying screens, installing them, adjusting settings, and following the floor plans meticulously prepared weeks in advance by our art director, Antoni.
Denis, a well-known technical pre-sales expert among our Speechi distributor partners, was also there, making sure everyone was up to speed—a job that complemented the support work done by our Franco-Belgian logistics office.

You get the idea: setting up a booth in less than 48 hours that would make Speechi shine for four days on the international stage. 🥵
And even in a tech trade show filled with industry giants and startups alike, a stable internet connection is never guaranteed. Until the last moment, we prayed that we’d be able to showcase our innovations in the best possible conditions. I’d love to tell you that our prayers were answered—but the truth is, Denis, Mika, Greg, and our 5G connections did an outstanding job.
A successful setup with the team.
A marketing director with an eye for detail—even more than on his own desk.
Days 1 to 4
Showtime and a huge success for Speechi Connect
“Go for it, it’s patented!”
The team started the event on a victorious note—just in time.
Lately, our marketing team had held back on communicating about our new project, Speechi Connect.
The reason was simple: a pending patent application to protect all the new features developed by our Lille-based development team.

But once the patent was secured, we were finally able to showcase our innovations!
Speechi Talk
AI-powered speech recognition built into our screens, which can generate live subtitles of what the speaker is saying and/or translate their speech in real-time.
Speechi Stream
Allows users to broadcast the screen’s content live to participants’ PCs and tablets, enabling them to annotate the lesson independently.
A Strong Message
“FrenchTech is not dead—long live FrenchTech!”
Thanks to the innovations we were proud to bring in 2024, we arrived at ISE with a unique value proposition that no other interactive screen manufacturer had. A real promise kept for Speechi screen users: we can—and we will—deliver a truly unique interactive experience.
