How Digital Displays Improve Audience Engagement

Using Digital Signage and Large Displays To Create Memorable Experiences

Does it seem that a digital display is taking over from regular static signs everywhere? If so, it’s because of the tremendous flexibility these displays afford your venue. Whether you run a sports arena, manage a house of worship, or hold events at a large conference center, digital displays give you greater opportunities to keep your audience engaged. Let's cover several ways digital signage, video walls, and other displays can help your Santa Rosa, CA, venue create better experiences for your audiences and constituents.

Sports Arenas

In an era where so much sports and entertainment is available on a screen with just a few clicks, the in-person experience should be multifaceted and memorable. Digital displays can play a key role in these experiences. One of the most impactful uses of digital displays in sports arenas is the scoreboards and video walls. These massive screens show real-time scores and player stats and offer instant replays that bring the action to life, ensuring fans don't miss a single moment. But it's not just about the game. Wayfinding signage strategically placed throughout the arena helps fans easily navigate to their seats, find the nearest concessions, or locate restrooms, making their visit stress-free.

Digital displays also create opportunities for advertising and sponsorship. Rotating ads and sponsorship messages on digital signage throughout the arena keep fans engaged during breaks in the action while providing valuable exposure for local businesses. And let’s not forget about the fan engagement displays—interactive screens that allow fans to participate in live polls, check social media feeds, or engage in trivia games, adding another layer of excitement to the event.

Safety is another critical area where digital displays shine. Dedicated screens can display emergency information and safety alerts when needed, ensuring the well-being of everyone in attendance.

Conference Centers

In conference centers, digital displays are transforming professional events into more organized and engaging experiences. From the moment attendees arrive, welcome and information boards provide essential event details, while room scheduling displays keep everyone on track with real-time updates. These screens enhance communication, with live streaming displays connecting remote participants and broadcasting presentations across large halls. Exhibitors benefit from interactive kiosks, which showcase their products and services through engaging content, drawing attendees to their booths. Additionally, digital displays foster networking by showing live social media feeds and event hashtags during breaks, encouraging interaction among attendees.

Houses of Worship

You might think houses of worship would be slower to adopt technology in general, but they are increasingly utilizing digital displays to enhance the spiritual experience for congregations. These displays serve as powerful tools to keep the community connected, informed, and engaged during services.

In large congregations, multiple video screens can help people farther back in the audience view the pulpit, choir, and other people and activities in the front. These displays can also feature hymns, lyrics, or directions to the next part of the service to keep the congregation engaged. For multilingual congregations, the displays can offer translations or subtitles, ensuring that everyone can participate fully, regardless of language barriers. 

Community announcements displayed digitally keep everyone up-to-date with upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and important news, making it easier for members to stay involved.

Digital displays also play a role in recognizing contributions through donor recognition walls, where the generosity of community members is highlighted.
