The summit concluded with a focus on AI’s transformative impact on digital signage and retail, including topics like AI-driven content creation, audience targeting, and data analytics.

Over 20 leading brands featured in the Technology Showcase, presenting cutting-edge solutions for digital signage and DOOH projects. This year’s exhibiting brands included DynaScan, Sony, iiyama, Signage OS, Samsung, Sharp NEC and many more.
