At Digital Signage Summit Europe 2024 (DSS Europe), experts from around the world will explore software-related issues such as the move to a platform economy, AI and cybersecurity, alongside other industry trends such as the latest developments in green signage and retail media, according to event organizers.

The two-day summit, a joint venture between Integrated Systems Events (ISE) and invidis consulting, “promises to be a must-attend business strategy event, with networking at its core and a goal to shape the future of digital signage.” The conference program hosts a comprehensive lineup of speakers sharing knowledge and insights, including an industry ‘outlook’ presentation from invidis consulting, keynotes from global industry leaders, presentations of concepts for customer journeys and panel discussions.

“This year’s key themes have been carefully aligned with the industry’s growing recognition of the need for a comprehensive approach to digital signage and the need to present a true picture of the global digital signage landscape,” said Florian Rotberg, conference chair and managing director of digital signage industry specialists invidis.

Organizers say the full two-day conference program, which will be revealed in the coming weeks, will be built around seven key topics:

• Software & Signage – Exploring a new generation of disruptive software platforms.
• Market & Business – Looking at Europe, North America, Middle East and APAC.
• IT Security – Best practice insights from IT security experts.
• AI & Data – How can we make sense of data and add value for customers?
• Green Signage – A top priority for meeting net zero and sustainability goals.
• Best Practice – Hear from leaders in various vertical markets.
• DooH & Retail Media – The trends and challenges of this booming landscape.

Attendees can look forward to gaining access to some of the “most innovative business leaders and solutions providers.” As well as high-level networking, visitors can get hands-on with the latest innovations at the Green Signage Showcase, where exhibiting brands will share new products and technologies.

“Digital Signage Summit Europe is not just an event; it’s a journey into the future of visual communication. Secure your spot and join us on May 22-24 for a holistic exploration of digital signage and be part of the transformative discussions shaping the industry,” said Mike Blackman, managing director of Integrated Systems Events.

Organizers say DSS Europe 2024 will also be a launchpad for the invidis Software Compass, the first independent digital signage software comparison platform, and will mark the release of the invidis Yearbook 2024, which promises to be a “pivotal resource” for every industry professional.
