Digital Signage Expo, the international conference and trade show dedicated to showcasing innovative digital communications technologies including interactive solutions for customer- and employee-facing organizations and digital signage networks, today announced that registration for its educational conference is now open.

According to the announcement, DSE has "re-invented" its approach to industry education. New this year are:

• Idea Exchange Education Seminars;
• Expanded end-user track – 12 seminar sessions led by peer presenters;
• Educational track specifically for systems integrators and installers;
• Spanish-language track for international and North American attendees;
• Advertising Agency track for creative directors and new business professionals;
• Pre-show Digital Signage Federation thought-leadership breakfast on future trends in digital signage; and
• Pre-show corporate communications employee summit.

"The education program will offer more choices for attendees who are already invested in digital signage solutions, but who need additional guidance or are looking to take their installations to the 'next' level," saidRichard Lebovitz, editorial director, digital signage, for ExpoNation, which produces DSE, in the announcement. "DSE will continue to offer a fundamentals curriculum, including pre- and post-show certification programs for those new to the industry."

In addition to traditional lecture or panel presentations featuring a faculty of peer professionals and industry specialists, attendees can also choose from "Idea Exchange" sessions that feature a collaborative peer-to-peer learning experience.

The program, which offers a choice of 32 general conference sessions, has also been reformatted to include relevant topics vetted by both the DSE Advisory Board and Educational Oversight Committees composed of volunteers whose expertise and experience helped shape the 2015 curriculum, which includes eight tracks:

• Digital Signage Fundamentals;
• Digital Out-of-Home Network Operators;
• Advertising Agencies;
• End-Users (three tracks);
• Systems Integrators and Installers; and
• An All Spanish-language track.

In addition to the seminar curriculum, DSE 2015 will feature nine pre- and post-show programs, 14 free on-floor workshops, 40 of the popular "Industry Vertical Roundtable Discussion Groups," and a program of study to ensure certification renewal in cooperation with the Digital Signage Experts Group.

DSE 2015, co-located with the Digital Content Show, is scheduled for March 10-12, 2015, with access to the Exhibit Hall March 11 and 12 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas.
