May 9, 2007

During its annual membership meeting held in Las Vegas recently, the Self-Service & Kiosk Association (SSKA) announced the formation of a Digital Signage Council.

The Council's stated purpose is to:

• Increase the awareness and understanding of digital signage, including growing integration with self-service and POS systems
• Increase the visibility of the Association, its role in digital signage and its members who offer digital signage hardware, software and/or services
• Be a resource to the membership to answer questions about digital signage

The SSKA Digital Signage Council will hold its first meeting on Tuesday, May 15, at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. The Council meeting was timed to be held immediately prior to the Digital Signage Expo.

Initial Council members include:

• Brian Ardinger, Nanonation
• James Bickers, DigitalSignageToday.com
• Jimmy Dun, Dynasign
• Bob Fincher, NetWorld Alliance
• David Little, Keywest Technology
• Wayne McKeen, AVI
• Margot Myers, U.S. Postal Service
• Greg Nank, Chief Manufacturing
• Miller Newton, Netkey
• Doug Peter, St. Clair
• Alex Richardson, Selling Machine Partners
• Wayne Ruttle, ADFLOW Networks

"Like the self-service and kiosk industry, the digital signage industry is experiencing tremendous growth," said David Drain, executive director. "Many deployers of self-service technology are also responsible for, or considering, the implementation of digital signage. As the Association's role is to stay at the forefront of customer-facing technology, it's important that we have a leadership team dedicated to this market."
