Share Your Digital Signage Wisdom at DSE 2016

Digital Signage Expo opens call for speaker proposals for education track of 2016 show.

Do you consider yourself an opinion leader on the topic of digital signage or digital communication? Would you be interested in sharing your expertise at industry events with likeminded people?

Digital Signage Expo (DSE) has opened a call for speaker proposals for its educational conference March 15-27, 2016, at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC). Representatives, digital network operators and system integrators from over 40 vertical markets attend DSE every year, and the educational side of the Expo is growing.

“Education is a big part of the show,” says Chris Gibbs, president and COO of Exponation, which produces DSE. “A lot of this is virgin territory; a wild west. Leaders who come to the podium saying ‘This is what I learned’ are essential to DSE. [In 2015, DSE was] back at the LVCC with enough space for our education program, with about 100 sessions.”

DSE is now organizing Educational Oversight Committees of industry experts who will recommend topics, review proposals and approve presentations for each of the 10 tracks, including six dedicated to end users. These committees will evaluate each proposal for its insight, perspective, relevance, usefulness and timeliness.

While topics other than those recommended will be considered, the proposal must make a clear case for its inclusion. DSE is especially interested in proposals from end users, network operators, creative agencies and pro AV/IT systems integrators willing to share their real-world digital signage experiences.

“DSE’s conference education will focus on what is most relevant to attendees in 2016,” says Chris Brennaman, conference manager. “Our attendees are primarily interested in digital signage communications and interactive technology solutions to more effectively engage their customers, employees and other stakeholders. We are therefore looking for thought-provoking topics that will help our attendees achieve those goals.”

Speaker proposals should align with one of the DSE 2016 educational tracks:

  • Digital Signage Fundamentals
  • Creative Agencies
  • Pro AV/IT Systems Integrators
  • DOOH Network Operators
  • End Users — Content University
  • End Users — Retail
  • End Users — Food & Beverage
  • End Users — Higher Education
  • End Users — Corporate Communications
  • End Users — Other Industry Verticals

Proposals can also be submitted for the DSE 2016 pre-show events: DOOH Network Operators Strategy Summit and Digital Signage Guided Installation Tour.

Deadline for submissions is July 2nd. The submission timeline, proposal form and presentation guidelines are available here.
