Digital Signage Expo March 6-9

Digital Signage Expo (DSE), the International Tradeshow and Conference dedicated to digital signage, interactive technologies and digital Out-of-Home Networks (DOOH), will present new educational opportunities for the first time in March 6-9, 2012, at its annual event in Las Vegas, themed “Digital Signage in a Connected World.

Both the Keynote speaker and Keynote thought-leadership panelists will expand upon the “Connected World” theme with forward-looking perspectives on the industry. The theme also will play a large role in almost every one of the eight DSE 2012 seminar tracks.

“Digital signage has emerged as a distinctly new industry, but it also is part of a larger fabric of connected digital devices, including computers, smartphones and tablets -- all of which provide new ways of engaging consumers through digital signage technologies,” said Richard Lebovitz, Educational and Editorial Director for Exponation LLC, which produces DSE.

Attendees will be able to attend 32 general conference seminars targeting clearly defined audiences and hear an outstanding faculty of peer professionals and industry specialists make presentations relevant to the digital signage and digital out-of-home marketplace. After proposal review and selection by educational oversight committees, relevant topics presented at DSE 2012 will be presented in the following tracks:

Digital Signage Fundamentals
Content University
Digital Place-Based Networks
Marketing & Advertising
Hardware, Software & Connectivity
Digital Signage Network Design, Management & Operation
