DPAA, the leading global organization working to drive out-of-home into its digital future, announced today that AdMetv has joined its membership ranks.
Barry Frey, DPAA President & CEO, told us “AdMetv represents a great opportunity for venues to turn passive TV screens into revenue-generating devices that enable advertisers to target specific locations and audiences. They are adding another layer onto out-of-home’s digital presence, and a great opportunity for brands.”
AdMetv is an innovative, place-based DOOH advertising IoT device solution that lights up ‘passive’ (non-revenue generating) screens to generate ad revenue and gather data from engaged consumers. The company claims to have developed a unique, place-based technology solution, PANDA (Programmatic Advertising Network Delivery Appliance), that enables almost any screen to connect to the internet and deliver ad messages and content, while continuously gathering key consumer data.
Dave Rossi, President AdMetv, said “DPAA has done an incredible job of creating a community of companies with a shared interest in taking out-of-home into the digital age. We are excited about joining this community and look forward to being very involved in its activities and initiatives.”

John Franzone, IDEA Hall of Fame chair and vice president of game presentation and production with the Tampa Bay Lightning told us “The fine individuals elected this year have certainly made their mark on our game presentation industry – one as an innovator who gave rise to a company that has become the cornerstone of large-screen displays in sports; and, the other as a producer of exceptional in-arena and broadcast content. While they’ve individually made their mark in different roles, Diane and Al share an incredible tenure of service with their respective organizations. Each has created a legacy of world-class work, mentorship and inspiration for future generations. Frankly, that’s what being a Hall of Famer is all about.”

The best conferences will revise agendas in light of BIG industry change and we could not hold our European Out of Home Media Summit two weeks today, without making mention of Broadsign’s recent acquisition of Ayuda Media Systems and of course, the creation of a new Global Outdoor powerhouse in the UK and parts of Europe.
We will still be kicking off the European Out of Home Media Summit with Diversiffi Media’s founder Fiona Fitzgibbon giving a European market overview but the afternoon line up has seen a little bit of change.
At 14:30 Conference chair, Adrian Cotterill will be in conversation with Broadsign’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Burr Smith and with employees from both Broadsign and Ayuda Media Systems in the audience, along with dozens of their respective customers, this 45 minute session will be a must-attend for anyone wanting to know about their plans going forward, how they will integrate, how Broadsign will make use of Ayuda’s true ERP system, what it all might mean with for their (now) combined #AdTECH strategy (for example, Broadsign Reach has been a fantastic success story for Burr and his team whereas Ayuda seemed to take a slightly different approach and spun off their programmatic and marketplace business to Hivestack) and much more!
After a short TEA / COFFEE break, we’ll begin again at 15:45 with Prestonwood Trail Holdings’ Managing Director Steve Nesbit helping us again, as he did with the last session of the day at The DailyDOOH Investor Conference (TDIC) during New York Digital Signage Week last October. Steve will chair a room discussion (there is no other way to describe this, other than a ‘room conversation’) entitled ‘What Will Drive Out of Home’s Future Growth?’. Prepare ye for a number of senior industry execs to take the stage, be quizzed by all and much conversation and insight to be had – if you attended TDIC last year you will know how this works, Ed.
There are plenty of other good speakers throughout the day and of course, there is also the AdTECH: OOH – London Conference taking place immediately the day before.
Registration for the summit can be found here.
London Digital Signage Week takes place May 13-17, 2019 and as with its counterpart in New York, the week is for anyone involved with digital signage and interested in retail, employee communications, smart cities, digital out of home and of course digital signage!
