CadmiumCD Introduces New Digital Signage at SPI Conference

FOREST HILL, Md., Nov. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital session displays are expected to become the new standard at conferences. Paper signage will soon be phased out in favor of digital solutions. CadmiumCD proved this at Solar Power International's Annual Conference last month.

Data that presenters and event organizers uploaded to the Conference Harvester, CadmiumCD's event management software, was pushed directly to digital signage placed outside of presentation rooms.

"With other digital displays, meeting planners must use a different software than they used to actually manage their event," says Michelle Wyatt, CadmiumCD CEO. "But for the past decade we've been doing everything possible to reduce the number of steps needed to change and publish data relevant to conference attendees."

Presentation details were instead displayed on 40" TV screens placed outside each room at SPI's Annual Conference using the same data that presenters uploaded to the Conference Harvester system in the months prior to the event.

"Attendees enjoyed how easy it was to navigate the conference and access educational materials," says Aimee Gabel, SPI Director of Education. "And I was relieved that what was displayed on the digital signage changed automatically to reflect current and upcoming sessions."

CadmiumCD's Digital Signage is time-sensitive and uses an internal clock to determine which session details should be displayed on each screen. The screens themselves are given identification numbers so that they can 'talk' back to the Conference Harvester and know exactly what data will be displayed, even if organizers make last minute changes.
