September 29, 2008 – Scala, the leading provider of end-to-end solutions for the connected signage market, today announced it will bring together Scala Partners and Key Clients from the EMEA and Nordic regions for the annual Scala Connected Signage Conference on October 8 – 9, 2008 at the NH Leeuwenhorst in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands (near Schiphol Airport).
The Scala Connected Signage Conference is a business forum for Scala Partners to exchange ideas and network with industry leaders and peers throughout the EMEA and Nordic regions. Attendees from all backgrounds will be able to join valuable presentations and sessions available on leading-edge topics, as well as to enjoy the unique opportunity of face-to-face time with Scala team members and partners to discuss and plan strategic projects.
“This year we are reformatting the agenda a bit to ensure that attendees from EMEA and Nordic regions get the most value out of the conference. We are offering more than 20 interactive sessions with tracks to suit everyone,” says Truls Baklid Vice President of Scala Nordic. This year the conference will include sessions and demonstrations specific to Scala Ad Manager (formerly Charting Pro), a new product family that reinforces the Scala Connected Signage platform.
“This has been an exciting year for Scala in so many ways and we look forward to sharing that excitement with our partners and customers,” says Oscar Elizaga, Vice President of EMEA for Scala. “Scala has significantly expanded its operations over the past year including the acquisition of MISC, now Scala Canada, and the integration of our new Scala Connected Signage platform. This year’s conference will serve to inform our strategic clients and prepare our Scala Partners for an exciting year in 2009.”
