Integrated Systems Events will present “Digital Signage: New Solutions for a New Era” on Tuesday, April 13 as the sixth installment in its RISE Spotlight series.
This edition will explore “how digital signage has responded to changing consumer and employee behaviors to become an essential tool for many businesses, retailers and government,” according to the ISE announcement.
Sponsored by AVI-SPL and produced in partnership with The Next Web and invidis consulting, the event “will see attendees join with thought leaders for a series of compelling discussions,” the announcement says.
“Digital signage has never been more useful than in these disrupted times,” according to the ISE announcement. “Consumer and employee behaviors are changing rapidly; information in public spaces needs to be adapted continuously; and experiences in stores, museums and brand centers need to capture the audience’s full attention.
“Big pictures and large digital canvases are helping to keep people safe,” the announcement says.
