DisplaySearch (Santa Clara, CA), a leader in display-market research, has partnered with InfoComm, the international trade association of the professional audiovisual and information-communications industries, to co-locate its fourth annual Digital Signage Conference with InfoComm 2011 in Orlando, FL.
The annual conference, which focuses on the digital-signage business and advanced-display technologies, will be held on June 14 during InfoComm 2011 at the Orange County Convention Center.
The conference attracts major display vendors, IT companies and DOOH companies, plus new ventures that digital displays are fostering. Applications to be examined include: mass transit, mixed-use information and advertising signage; electronic menuboards; higher-education installations; point-of-sale and dynamic signage for retail; corporate, mass-communication networks; OOH advertising/information/security messaging; and emerging solutions for the outdoor portion of the out-of-home market.
“With revenues for commercial, large-format, flat-panel displays alone forecast to reach more than $7 billion by 2016, and unit volume growing at a 24% CAGR, this segment is a key area of growth for the flat-panel-display supply chain,” said Chris Connery, VP of DisplaySearch. “Because digital signage remains a hot topic at InfoComm’s annual event, emphasis on this segment continues to grow. Co-locating the event will provide an opportunity for InfoComm attendees to learn more about the business side of digital signage, including market forecast and the latest trends.”
“The professional AV market continues to embrace flat-panel technologies, which have become inexorably linked to digital signage,” said Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D., executive director and CEO, InfoComm Intl. “We are pleased to offer a conference at InfoComm 2011 that examines the flat-panel market and other emerging displays associated with digital signage. The Digital Signage Conference is the perfect complement to the integrated technologies attendees can see on the show floor.”
