“Digital signage has never been more useful than in these disrupted times,” according to the ISE announcement. “Consumer and employee behaviors are changing rapidly; information in public spaces needs to be adapted continuously; and experiences in stores, museums and brand centers need to capture the audience’s full attention.
“Big pictures and large digital canvases are helping to keep people safe,” the announcement says.
This edition of the RISE Spotlight series “will highlight the positive impact that digital signage can make in opening the world up again, and the challenges of adapting solutions for a new era,” the ISE announcement says.
