Lyle Bunn’s SPEED Program
Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
Lyle Bunn is offering a new training program for Digital Signage Project Planning and Deployment, something which he calls ‘SPEED’ – an acronym for ‘Structures for Planning, Explanation, Excitement and Deployment‘.
It’s basically an in-depth, accelerated training program for Digital Signage business and project planning.
The core half-day program is comprised of several modules that allow end user and potential suppliers of digital signage, such as Systems Integrators, Commercial Audio-Visual, Sign, Graphic, Digital Print, Content and other providers to better plan objectives, timelines and budgets, and define key elements of a digital signage initiative leading to technology selection, deployment, growth and successful operations.
Lyle Bunn, Principal of BUNN Co. told us “This succinct, information-rich program will provide a sound foundation of knowledge and practice to organizations wishing to use or supply digital signage. SPEED fills the information gaps between the interest in using digital signage and the selection of technology”
The SPEED program is offered for private presentations to end user and supplier including their client and partner events, and for delivery at technology, marketing, advertising, retail and association events and conferences. SPEED can be customized to meet specific needs and event schedules.
