Case Study: Canonical streamlines event signage with Screenly for Events

Canonical streamlines event signage with Screenly’s 30-player setup

Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, faced a significant challenge managing digital signage for exhibitors at its annual Ubuntu Summit event. The process was time-consuming for their event staff and detracted from other logistical needs. To address this, Canonical reached out to vendor Screenly to explore a solution that could simplify digital signage management and reduce onsite AV support.

Screenly implemented its specialized Screenly for Events service, which included providing loaner players and a centralized management system. This allowed exhibitors to upload content in advance and enabled remote updates during the event. The solution significantly reduced AV support time for Canonical's staff and was well-received by exhibitors and attendees, providing a cohesive and professional experience with minimal hassle.
