The Digital Signage Federation (DSF) today announced the results of its 2026 Board elections, welcoming one new at-large member and reappointing three incumbents to continue their service in guiding the industry’s leading independent voice.

Newly elected to the Board is:
• Andrea Varrone, Creative Realities

Reelected for new terms are:

These leaders will join the DSF’s existing At-Large Board members:

• Lex Evans, Epiphan Video
• Jay Leedy, Videri

“I’m honored to join the DSF Board and contribute to the continued growth of our industry,” said Andrea Varrone. “The digital signage community is evolving quickly and the DSF plays an essential role in connecting leaders, elevating best practices, and ensuring we move forward together. I’m excited to collaborate with this incredible group of colleagues and help advance the initiatives that matter most to our members.”

The Federation also confirmed its 2026 Executive Committee:

Recognizing Outgoing Chair Ryan Cahoy

The DSF also extends its deepest thanks to Ryan Cahoy of AUO Display Plus, who concludes his term as Chair. Cahoy’s leadership over the past two years is widely regarded as one of the most impactful in the Federation’s history.

Under his guidance, the DSF modernized programs, increased member engagement, expanded its educational initiatives, and strengthened relationships across manufacturers, integrators, software companies, and end users.

“Ryan set a new benchmark for what it means to serve as Chair,” said Pisano. “His steady hand, collaborative style, and commitment to elevating every corner of our industry created meaningful momentum that we will continue building on. The DSF and the entire digital signage community owe him a tremendous amount of gratitude.”
