This ‍is exactly‍ what we offer the right platform for that.”

Sessions Tailored to Industry Challenges

The‍ program is designed to tackle⁤ pressing industry questions, including ⁤efficient large-scale digital signage operation, intelligent content⁣ creation, and adaptation to rapid technological advancements. According to Rotberg, the sessions will explore “How ⁣can digital signage be operated efficiently on a large ⁣scale? How does content become more intelligent? And how do you react‍ to the rapid technological change?”

Keynotes to Highlight⁣ Cybersecurity, Managed Signage, and AI

The summit will feature three keynotes, ⁣each addressing a central theme.Day one will include a “Digital Signage Tech Forum”‍ and a keynote on the increasing importance of software and IT security.⁢ Day two ⁢will ⁣examine the global digital signage market, trends, and challenges, with a focus on managed signage.

The sessions will incorporate various formats, including keynotes, panels, deep dives, and informal meetups, encouraging active participation.

Expansion ⁤to Three days

The decision‍ to extend the event from two to three days reflects increased demand and the depth ‍of content required to address the evolving digital signage landscape.⁣ Rotberg stated the expansion was based on “demand and⁣ depth of content,” noting that digital signage has become a central component of interaction across⁤ many industries.

Managed‍ Signage: A Extensive Solution

Managed ‍Signage represents a meaningful ⁢evolution in digital infrastructure, applying the managed services model ⁢from IT to digital signage. ⁤Rotberg explained, “Companies do ⁢not have to⁣ put together their own networks, content platforms and ⁢support models, but receive a complete solution with Managed ‍Signage.”

this model encompasses display and software installation, ⁤ongoing management through network⁢ operating⁢ centers, remote device control, content planning,⁤ and financing agreements. It aims to reduce friction, enhance predictability, and transform digital signage into ⁣an optimized solution.

AI’s Transformative Impact

AI is already influencing digital signage ⁣by enabling more adaptive, personalized, and effective content. According to ‍Rotberg, “By analyzing data from sensors, cameras or customer interactions, the signage can now ⁣react depending on the context and display different messages depending on the viewer, location and environmental events.”

AI also impacts backend systems, from hardware maintenance to⁢ content planning and performance analysis. The summit will address ‍the ethical and operational implications of ‍AI-driven signage, including data protection and clarity.

Additional Priorities⁣ for ⁢2025
