In addition to demo’ing all new versions of its interactive room signs, wayfinding designs and digital signage software at next weeks’ DSE show in Vegas, VISIX’s founder will lead a seminar you should attend if you are integrating DS systems in schools. Sean Matthews, president of Visix, will lead discussion groups on March 7 and 8, from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. The topic is “Campus Alerts: Incorporating Digital Signage in Your Crisis Communications Plan,” and will cover real-world crisis communication strategies, consideration for CAP (Common Alert Protocol) compliant products and using triggers to activate a variety of communication outlets in the event of an emergency. Key learning objectives include:

• Using digital signage in the event of a crisis
• Types of information to be communicated and best formats
• Defining responsibilities for creating and distributing alert communications

“We’re excited to have such a robust presence at the show this year,” says Matthews. “DSE is a great event for us to dialogue with buyers and learn what they want in digital signage content management, so we can tailor our offering to meet their needs. The discussion groups extend that interaction and allow us to focus on a major area of concern for communicators — mass alerts.”
