What Makes a Great Digital Signage CMS- Gain perspective from leading CMS companies about what to consider when selecting a digital signage software platform. Learn how features like scalability, ease of integration, content automation, and analytics can impact long-term success.

Designing Smarter: When to Go Beyond the CMS- As digital signage platforms evolve, the line between CMS-native features and external content creation is becoming increasingly blurred—especially with the integration of new AI tools. This panel will explore when it makes sense to design content outside the CMS using creative tools such as Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, and Unity, and when it’s better to use CMS-native features and new AI capabilities. We'll also look at how dynamic, data-driven content—powered by real-time inputs from POS systems, audience analytics, and other relevant data—can be created and managed both inside and outside the CMS. Through real-world examples, we’ll discuss creative trade-offs and how to find the right balance between flexibility, efficiency, and visual impact.
