May 11th, 2009 — Close to a dozen end user case studies will be featured at the 2nd Annual Digital Signage Technology Summit, to be held on June 16 and 17, 2009 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.

The benefits of digital signage as an affordable and effective way to communicate in real-time have been realized by many industries and organizations.

“For me, digital signage is all about information exchange and enhancing the experience,” said Michael Kilgore, vice president of marketing at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. “We’re able to provide information and entertainment as people approach our theaters.”

The center is leveraging the sight and sound capabilities of digital signage to create a rich and immersive experience for show attendees, which in addition to programming, “can be a competitive advantage,” said Kilgore who is speaking at the Summit. Other end user case studies include:

• Newark Beth Israel Medical Center
• Lockheed Martin Aeronautics
• Jyske Bank (Denmark)
• Georgia Aquarium
• SAIT Polytechnic (Calgary, Canada)
• The University of Texas at El Paso
