DSF opens enrollment in series on higher education digital signage

June 4, 2012

The Digital Signage Federation, an independent not-for-profit organization serving the digital signage industry, has just announced the launch of an educational program designed specifically for administrators, technologists and other professionals responsible for the oversight and management of campus-wide digital signage installations.

Program components include three free, hour-long webinars that will feature best practices, case study examples, content management, and basic "dos and don'ts" to help new and existing network operators ensure project success.

The program debuts at 2 p.m. Wednesday, June 27 Eastern with "Campus Signage 101" featuring panelists Thomas Kunka, service architect manager, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Ryan Cahoy, managing director, Rise Display; and Cindy Davis, editor-in-chief of "TechDecisions for Higher Education."

Colleges and universities use digital signage networks to communicate with students, faculty and visitors. This free webinar will focus on explaining the components necessary to create a successful network and share with participants dozens of design examples used by universities across the nation.

Participants who attend the session will learn about key considerations:

• Basic hardware and software components of a digital signage network
• Key stats and trends in the industry as they relate to colleges and universities
• The successes and pitfalls to avoid when considering displays for your campus.

Thomas Kunka, co-chair of the DSF's Advocacy & Outreach Education subcommittee said, "Designing, implementing and managing digital signage systems that address the complex needs of the variety of stakeholders on campus can be challenging."
