Upcoming Webinars On Content, Data-Driven Signage

June 13, 2016 by Dave Haynes

I’m involved in a couple of upcoming webinars in the next couple of weeks.

On Wednesday at 2 pm, the Digital Signage Federation has a panel discussion/bun fight on “the age old questions around content for digital signage.”

Questions our panelists will discuss include:

• My software let’s me make unlimited zones, how many should I create? (my preview answer – ONE, dammit!)
• How often should content rotate?
• How much moving content can you have on a display at once?
• What font size is ideal to ensure my audience can read it?
• How long (in seconds) should full video be displayed?
• Is 4K effective?
• If audio is used, how do you do it?
• What about third party content like news, weather, and sports?

There are three on the panel – Jim Nista from Insteo, Rob Adams from Omnivex, and me from my spare bedroom.

Next Tuesday, I’m up seeing the folks at Omnivex in the north part of Toronto for a free webinar on how data can be used to drive digital signage. It’s more of a chat than a presentation, as I toss questions at Omnivex President Jeff Collard about how this stuff is done. Omnivex was doing data-driven digital signage a decade and more before pretty much anyone else in the sector.

The session, Tuesday, June 21, from 1:00pm – 2:00 pm EST – will look at:

• Business benefits organizations can achieve by integrating real-time information into their digital signage;
• Where digital signage is headed in order to fulfill the promise of this rapidly evolving technology;
• Best practice examples of organizations that use information and data to run their digital networks and types of real-time information they are integrating into their signage.
