Digital Signage, also known as Narrowcasting or Digital Out Of Home (DOOH) advertising, allows information to be displayed on digital screens in almost any location. They may display advertisements, entertainment, or information and can be changed or scheduled according to season, time of day or day of week.
The DIGI Awards recognize the resellers, integrators and service providers who have gone the extra mile to ensure success for their clients, thereby furthering the digital signage industry as a whole. Additionally, they recognize the best New Products for the digital signage market.
