“The big takeaway from DSE 2016 was that attendees were highly qualified,” said Andrea Varrone, Digital Signage Expo’s Show Director. “We worked extremely hard to bring notable brands to the show floor by expanding the breadth and depth of our digital marketing program, increasing the event’s social media reach and leveraging the talents of our attendee relationship team. The investment paid off. DSE continues to be the only venue for connecting with End Users who are knowledgeable about our industry and ready to make purchasing decisions.”
Senior management, communications specialists, marketers, administrators and technologists who attended the show were enthusiastic about seeing the newest technologies and opportunities to network with peers.
"If digital signage is an important part of your business, exhibiting at DSE should be a top priority,” said Nick Belcore, Executive Vice President of Peerless-AV. “As a long-term presenting sponsor, DSE has offered tremendous value to our business - providing us with the opportunity to meet with partners and customers looking for the best solutions in the space."
