The Digital Signage Federation (DSF), the only independent not-for-profit trade organization serving the digital signage industry, is pleased to announce that its year-over-year membership has increased 18% as of the end of August. Total paid member organizations are now at a record 260, which represent 646 individual, active and enthusiastic members.

The largest growth categories were:

• Industry Consultants (22) +47%
• Vendors (108) +33%
• End Users (35) +32%

DSF Executive Director Brian Gorg said, “The DS industry is demanding more professional development, networking, and real business opportunities that connect buyers and vendors. This is largely why new members are responding to the benefits of membership including educational discounts and complimentary certification license, that DSF offers, as well as the opportunity to network with over 600 other industry professionals who are individual DSF members.”

DSF Membership Director Shaneeka James said, “The industry needs a strong trade organization to help create an environment conducive to business growth, which is why the DSF is focused on the business needs of networks, end-users and their customers. Members join both for the tangible benefits of membership, as well as intangibles, like building new relationships. One of the things we continue to focus on is helping members maximize all of the benefits of DSF membership.”
