Cisco digital signs deployed at international economic forum
June 3, 2010
Cisco announced that the International Economic Forum of the Americas/Conference of Montreal is using Cisco Digital Signs to deliver content to the more than 4,000 attending delegates.
This initiative represents the first time the Conference of Montreal has incorporated video applications and content to its program. The forum will use digital signage to deliver up-to-the-minute agenda highlights, speaker information and high-definition broadcasts of keynote speakers.
The Conference of Montreal is an international gathering of some of the world's economic thought leaders, including Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director, International Monetary Fund; Paul Volcker, chairman of the President's Economic Recovery Board; and Angel Gurria, secretary-general of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The conference tries to heighten knowledge and awareness of the major issues of economic globalization.
"We are delighted to have Cisco collaborate with us to implement a digital signage solution that complements this year's conference program," said Nicholas Remillard, president and CEO of the International Economic Forum of the Americas/Conference de Montreal. "Cisco's Digital Media Suite will enhance the overall experience for our guests by enabling us to showcase captivating content of digital video and live broadcast feeds."
