- Nedi Nadershahi, CTO at Silicon Core Technologies, believes the LED video wall segment needs standardization development. To support his case, he will discuss the advantages of standardizing the interfaces, which will facilitate upgrades in the overall architecture of these displays.
- Analyst Todd Fender from NPD DisplaySearch will explore the state of the digital signage industry by analyzing the revenue stream over the past years. With a flat sales volume over the last two years many new projects have been postponed in hope of a more favorable financial and economical environment.
- Daniel Parisien, CEO at BroadSign International, will discuss the challenges of recouping investments in the digital signage space. With more interest in out of home networks, advertising dollars are increasing revenue in the industry. However, this money does not reach the AV professional as they are one step removed from this revenue stream. His talk will discuss ways that ProAV businesses could participate in this market to increase the need for their services.
- Lyle Bunn, a well-known digital signage expert and trainer, will focus in on how digital signage is evolving into a market segment that is mainly driven by return of investment rather than technological innovations. He will explain what this means for the whole value chain and ways to take advantage of this trend.
