The 15 digital signage events around the world you don't want to miss this year
For this month’s industry news, we have prepared a list of events coming up in the second half of 2019 to help you lift up your holiday spirit even more.
Long-awaited summer is finally here and the temperature is soaring. It’s starting to feel like the earth is burning (it sure does feel like that in France now). We know in times like this, staying either in the AC or going to the beach sounds safe and easy, but the heat shouldn’t stop us from keeping ourselves productive and inspired.
The first half of 2019 was packed with various local and international events in the Digital Signage industry and we ourselves have enjoyed contributing as a speaker and exhibitor at many of those events (See our past events in 2019 here). Of course, this year’s hard-to-beat highlight for us is still Interactive 2019 – the first annual Intuiface User Conference that invited all Intuiface users and fans around the world.
With these past excitements in mind, for this month’s industry news, we have prepared a list of events coming up in the second half of 2019 to help you lift up your holiday spirit even more.
This list focuses on events around the world regardless of Intuiface’s presence (we can only attend so many events a year!), with themes around digital signage, interactive technology, and customer experience.
