The Digital Screenmedia Symposium, presented by the Digital Screenmedia Association, will be held April 8-9 in Dallas at the Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center.
The DSA Symposium is a unique and engaging conference, designed to bring some of the best and brightest minds in digital screenmedia and audience engagement together to talk about consumer trends, innovative technologies, network and design integration, and the future. We'll talk about digital signage, mobile, self-service/kiosks, and more.
It’s a great way to network. Starting with engaging discussion, we provide ample time to enable meetings and discussions among vendors, users, and experts.
The schedule is designed to allow for easier travel and accommodations. You can arrive in Dallas the morning of the first day, and leave the evening of the second day without missing anything.
