Hosting a display or stand at a large-scale business event or conference is a significant undertaking in terms of time, resources, and capital. From managing attendees to delivering important information, every detail must align perfectly with your marketing strategy for you to achieve the required results. Signage has always been an important element of successful event marketing, and modern digital signage technologies have increased the options available to you to bring your event stand to life and engage your target customers. Let’s look at the latest innovations in digital event signage and how you can benefit:

1. AI-powered content personalisation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have increased the ability of digital signage setups to adjust content in real time to meet the needs and preferences of specific audiences. This doesn’t mean that the content itself has to be created by AI but, equipped with an AI powered content management system (CMS), event displays can now shift content to match the demographic engaging with your stand. For example, by monitoring footfall and touchscreen engagement patterns, AI can detect low engagement periods on certain displays, and automatically replace it with more attention-grabbing content and visuals. In this way, AI-driven dynamic content management can help raise overall engagement throughout the event, leading to a greater ROI and a better customer experience for each attendee. AI-powered data analytics can also be used post-event to review your performance and understand the content assets that resonated most with your attendees, helping you to improve your future event strategy.

2. Increase the environmental sustainability of your event strategy

Corporate events are notoriously resource-heavy, involving significant outlay in printed substrates and materials. This not only increases your overheads but also the waste and environmental impact associated with the event. Increasingly mindful of reducing their carbon footprint, a growing number of businesses are turning to digital signage to align their event strategy with their sustainability goals. By replacing printed signage with energy-efficient LED or OLED displays, for instance, you reduce paper waste and communicate an eco-conscious aesthetic for your stand. Innovations such as low-powered digital e-paper tablets for touch screens are another option for business events, helping you to capture customer information and convey information without investing in single-use resources.

3. Enhance engagement with augmented reality experiences

Digital signage is a useful medium for delivering augmented reality (AR) experiences. Augmented reality is a bridge between physical marketing collateral and digital channels, transporting attendees into engaging and immersive campaigns. AR content can now be integrated into a variety of digital mediums simply by including QR codes in the design, helping to inspire curiosity and amplify engagement at your stand. Blending digital and physical marketing in this way also increases the impact of your branding beyond your event itself, as attendees can continue to access AR apps and web pages via their phones or tablets after they have left your stand.
