The Digital Signage Conference, to take place August 17th in San Jose, CA, will bring together the world’s largest flat-panel display vendors and the world’s largest IT companies along side companies already well established in out-of-home environments. Additionally they will be joined by new ventures that this brave new world of digital displays is helping to foster. Applications to be examined include: mass transit, mixed-use information and advertising signage; electronic menu boards; higher education installations; point-of-sale and dynamic signage for retail; corporate mass-communication networks; out-of-home advertising/information/security messaging; and emerging solutions for the outdoor portion of the out-of-home market.
