KIOSKCOM: Last day to register for Summit, SPEED

Today is the last day you can register for the Third Annual Customer Facing Technology Buyers Summit and the SPEED training conference, both to be held at next week's KioskCom Self Service Expo and The Digital Signage Show.

The Third Annual Customer Facing Technology Buyers Summit is a closed-door, high-level discussion that will serve as a mini-think tank for deployers and potential deployers of kiosks, digital signage and more. Participants will discuss the top issues facing them, as well as learn from one another how to improve, expand or add to their current customer-facing technology program.

The Summit is open to anyone who has deployed at least one customer-facing technology program, such as kiosks, other self-service devices, digital signs and more, or a combination of them.

Attendance is by approval only. Go here to apply online, or call 203-371-6322 with any questions.

SPEED, an acronym for Structures for Planning, Explanation, Excitement and Deployment, will give attendees "an in-depth look at all of the aspects of deploying digital signage," said presenter Lyle Bunn. "While digital signage appears quite simple on the surface, it is actually a deep web of interconnected and complex technologies that all act together in unison to produce the image we see on screen. Without a proper understanding and knowledge of the intricacies behind a successful deployment, failure looms."

The SPEED program is set for May 5 at The Digital Signage Show 2009, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. The exhibit hall and other educational sessions will be open from May 6-7, also at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
