Conference Program
Customer Centricity in the Age of Personalisation, Experiences and AI: Digital concepts for retail customer journeys are increasingly being designed by global agencies and professional service organizations that may struggle with the unique challenges of digital signage. What are the preferred tools for designing customer centric experiences? The Summit will analyze, discuss and compare digital experience platforms and the role of digital signage software.
AI enables integrators and customers to obtain valuable insights from the millions of data points collected by in-store sensors. Following years of frustration, the time is ready for analytics and the ‘in-store cookie’. DSS Europe will present best practice approaches and the lessons that have been learned, as well as a panel on addressing the concerns of the public about analytics, particularly with regard to privacy and data protection.
Also on the agenda will be sessions on the requirements for outdoor signage, and on consolidation and changes in the digital signage value chain.
