Canavan Provides Insight on Digital Sign Networks at SGIA ’06

Canavan Provides Insight on Digital Sign Networks at SGIA ’06 Instructor will point out benefits and challenges for digital sign networks Fairfax, Virginia —Attendees can learn the ins and outs of rapidly emerging digital sign networks at SGIA ’06 (Las Vegas, September 26­29, 2006).

And they also can understand why digital sign networks — computer networks that distribute and display digital content on a host of screen types — can present exciting new opportunities.

“It will be helpful for specialty imagers to learn more about the applications and benefits of digital sign networks, and how this industry might be complimentary to their businesses,” said Kelly Canavan, instructor for “Digital Signage: Reaching Its Full Potential” (Tuesday, September 26 ­ 11:00 am to 11:50 am).

Canavan, Market Development Manager for 3M Graphics Market Center (St. Paul, Minnesota, Platinum Sponsor), will talk about the digital sign network industry and the benefits and challenges of today’s networks.

“Right now, there isn’t a direct, perfect fit” for digital sign networks within the traditional signage industry, Canavan said. “But if we all stay informed about this new industry, it will be easier to spot aspects that apply to our businesses, and how to develop those capabilities,” he said.

While the seminar is focused on business goals for digital sign networks, Canavan plans to keep the seminar dialogue broad enough to make the seminar a valuable information tool for any business interested in digital sign technologies.

To register and learn more about the seminar ($35 for SGIA members and $45 for non-members) visit the SGIA ’06 Web site at SGIA.org. With close to 600 exhibitors, SGIA ’06 is breaking all records and promising to be the most important industry event of the year.
