Presented by invidis and Integrated Systems Events, Digital Signage Summit (DSS) Europe has announced the speakers for this year’s event at the Hilton, Munich Airport, Germany, on 22-23 May. Panels comprising major industry players from EMEA, North America, Middle East and APAC will discuss the current state of digital signage and DooH.
The summit opens with the invidis Market Keynote, where conference chair and managing director Florian Rotberg and Stefan Schieker, invidis senior partner, will delve into the digital signage market, market dynamics and emerging opportunities.
Rotberg said: “We are delighted to reveal the conference programme for DSS Europe 2024, offering attendees a comprehensive and insightful experience. With an impressive line-up of speakers and thought-provoking sessions, DSS Europe 2024 promises to be a must-attend event for anyone involved in the digital signage industry.”
Alongside the conference programme, DSS Europe 2024 will see the launch of the invidis Software Compass – an independent platform for comparing digital signage software. This announcement will be paired with the publication of the invidis Yearbook 2024 – which includes articles about the key digital signage trends of the year.
The organisers say the major themes to be adressed at this year’s event include:
Software & Signage: New-generation platforms are disrupting long-established roles along the value chain. The launch of Samsung VXT is just the beginning.
Green Signage: As the economy moves away from carbon-intensive hardware and software, how is Europe’s digital signage industry planning to go green?
Retail Media & DooH: While demand for advertising on linear TV advertising is falling and online/mobile is stagnating, DooH and retail media are booming.
IT Security: IT security experts from top-tier tech companies present the current threat level and solutions to manage cyber security.
AI & Data: Various panels will explore analytic and generative AI, the battle of the backends and the role of B2B IoT.
Best Practice: End-customers and digital signage experts will present best practice in vertical markets from retail to QSR, automotive to beauty and corporate.
