This session is a must-see for anyone interested in upgrading their airport digital signage. Mark your calendar for our must-see panel: Upgrading from Traditional FIDS and Legacy Digital Signage? Why Content Strategy is Vital when It's Time to Invest in a Digital Ecosystem. It will feature an a-list of industry leaders and influencers:


  • Royce Holden, Cybersecurity Lead/CISO at Mead & Hunt (Moderator)

  • Mike Youngs, VP of Information Technology at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport

  • Faith Varwig, Principal at Faith Group

  • Yahav Ran, CEO of Synect

  • Rob Bischoff, Global Digital Experience Design Leader at Gensler

  • Austin Gould, President of Gould Strategic Solution


These industry leaders will share insights, successes, and lessons learned to demonstrate why a content-first strategy is essential for elevating passenger experiences and optimizing airport operations. The goal is to help airport decision-makers and partners by changing how they approach airport digital signage and visual communication.

Why a Content-First Strategy is Essential

Too often, airport architects, designers, and consultants begin with technology—screen sizes, data, CMS features, and even cable lengths. While these decisions are important, Synect recommends a different first step: focusing on the passenger experience.


By starting with the experience an airport aims to deliver, airports can better define the content that will create that experience. They can also establish next-generation capabilities that deliver that experience and enhance operations, all before making technology choices.


The panel will highlight this approach and include topics like:


The Importance of a Content-First Strategy

Learn how content strategy leads to enhanced passenger engagement and better airports. Hear why content should be the guiding principle for all decisions related to a visual communication program, from hardware to software.


The Role of System and Infrastructure

See how to build systems that deliver engaging, attention-capturing content with effective, meaningful results.


Consequences of Delaying Content Discussions

Learn about the risks of postponing content strategy, like wasteful hardware spending and limited system capabilities.


Benefits of Prioritizing Content Strategy

Hear how content planning can optimize hardware and software decisions, achieve cost savings, and maximize return on investment (ROI).


Elevating airport passenger experience and additional topics will be discussed, and Q&A will be open for attendees. Mark your calendars for this must-see event!
