MONTREAL--(Marketwire - November 24, 2009) - How do hotels and conference facilities stay
relevant and hip, embrace the latest technologies to attract new clients,
and do it all without breaking the bank? For the Hilton Montreal
Bonaventure, the answer is dynamic electronic displays featuring the latest
digital signage technologies. Based on the award-winning Xpresenter™
digital signage platform and creative services from Montreal-based X2O
Media, with installation and on-site management by PSAV Presentation
Services, the Hilton's new bilingual system sports many cutting-edge
features, such as advanced touch screen technology, live video feeds from
outside media, and HD-quality video and graphics.
When guests and conference attendees arrive at the Hilton Montreal
Bonaventure, they are greeted with five state-of-the-art 46-inch lobby
displays. Each provides complete information about the day's schedule of
events; real-time content such as weather, news, and flight information;
and professionally designed video advertising -- all in HD. One of the
lobby displays is fully touch-enabled, featuring a sensing device to detect
the presence of guests, and way-finding maps to provide comprehensive
directions to meeting rooms and conference facilities.
As guests make their way down the escalators and into the main conference
area, two enormous screens are fed HD-quality, sponsored content from
ceiling-mounted LCD projectors. Finally, as attendees approach the 29
meeting rooms, each room features a 15-inch display showcasing content
relevant to the event being held in each room. Each display also provides
an additional opportunity to display sponsored content.
"Our installation has certainly achieved the wow factor, with numerous
guests constantly clustered around the lobby signs. We have also received
very positive feedback from conference sponsors who place advertising,"
said Stéphane Morin, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Hilton
Montreal Bonaventure. "Our digital signage network has had a definite
impact on our ability to sell and give the hotel a brand personality that
is forward-thinking, green, and tech-savvy. Since going live with the
solution on June 18, we've twice sold the entire inventory of sponsored
video footage -- a sales figure that far exceeded our initial
expectations."
