Integrated Systems Events announced that the 2026 Digital Signage Summit (DSS), organized by invidis, will welcome delegates from the digital signage and DooH industry for two days of strategic discussion, networking and industry insight.

ISE said that this year’s summit is set to feature a line-up of 27 sponsors spanning the digital signage ecosystem, as well as a program addressing technologies, business models and operational priorities that are shaping the future of the industry.

Headline brands include Dynascan, iiyama, Samsung, Sharp and Sony. Alongside 22 additional sponsors, ISE said that this line-up reflects increased convergence of hardware, software, analytics and retail media technologies in digital signage. Technology partner M-Cube will also support the experience.

The 2-day program on May 20 and May 21, 2026 will discuss 9 strategic themes shaping the future of digital signage, including AI, sustainability, cybersecurity and retail media. ISE said that the content program is designed to provide practical frameworks and market insight for senior decision-makers.

The new exclusive workshop program will be introduced at the 2026 event, with discussions on ‘Product Engineers: The New Superman? Rethinking Roles and Org Design for the AI Era’, ‘Digital Signage Compliance 2026 – Identifying Risks and Setting Priorities’ and ‘From Central Briefing to Store Ready Concept – Translating Retail into NextGen Signage’.

ISE said that networking remains a key focus of the experience. The approach is supported by the official event app, which aims to allow delegates to browse sessions and speakers and bookmark them, create personalized agendas and connect with attendees before the event. Matchmaking tools aim to suggest relevant connections based on shared interests. Curated networking events in the program include the DSS 2026 Kick-off Event, the traditional DSS Beer Garden Networking Event and the Women’s Breakfast.

The summit will host the release of the invidis Yearbook 2026, as well as the invidis Strategy Awards, which recognize organizations and initiatives shaping digital signage.

“We are delighted to welcome attendees to The DSS on its 20th anniversary,” said Mike Blackman, managing director of Integrated Systems Events. “With an abundant line up of sponsors, presenters and programming, visitors can look forward to a lively schedule.”
