Questex Unveils Robust Co-Location Strategy For Live Design International & Digital Signage Experience Events

New York – Questex’s LDI, the preeminent event for the live events industry, and Digital Signage Experience (DSE), the preeminent event for the digital signage industry, today shared plans on how the two events will co-locate to offer shared experiences, while maintaining separate exhibit and conference spaces. LDI's conference runs November 30 to December 5, the expo hall opens December 3–5. DSE pre-show training and tech tours begin on December 2, and the expo runs December 4–5. Both events take place in the new West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. 

“We are thrilled to have LDI and DSE co-located for 2023 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, while maintaining the branding and identity of each community in two distinct sections of West Hall,” commented Marian Sandberg, vice president and market leader at Questex. “Attendees will have access to both show floors, affording the opportunity to see exhibitors in so many areas of visual and audio technologies, from high-end displays to advanced moving lights, rigging, and trussing systems to cloud-based content solutions, staging, media servers, atmospheric effects, you name it.”

Both shows plan to leverage the strength and market penetration of Questex’s other brands, as well. Adjacent assets at the company include shows, conferences, and media relevant to hospitality, healthcare, education, travel, and more. 

“The future of visual display solutions, entertainment production technology, and experiential events intersects here, with hundreds of exhibitors and an expected 14,000-plus attendees,” added Sandberg. "LDI brings together the entire entertainment, design, and technology community with manufacturers and distributors of ultramodern gear and professional training from world-renowned industry leaders. DSE comprises the fast-changing digital and interactive display ecosystem of buyers and exhibitors in advertising, brand marketing, experience design, entertainment, hospitality, and retail, as well as IT systems integrators, manufacturers and more. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”

The synergy created by the close location of the two exhibit spaces will foster greater cross-traffic and more opportunity for networking, keynote presentations, and technology to both markets, while specific programming and events will continue to serve each show.
