As an event manager, there’s no statistic more pleasing than a steady rise in the number of attendees at your events.
Sep 21, 2019 To get you started, we’ve compiled a list of three free digital signage software options (listed alphabetically). Each of these products has an above-average overall user rating (4.5 out of 5) on Capterra’s digital signage software directory. (Read the full selection methodology here). The top 3 free digital signage software solutions 1.
But getting more attendees is not easy. In a survey conducted by Eventbrite, 56% of event creators said reaching out to new attendees is their number one challenge.
However, “reaching out” is not the only way to get more attendees for your event. You should also focus on connecting with attendees who actually turn up for the event. Giving them a memorable experience will not only increase your chances of gaining return attendees but will also help you gain traction through word-of-mouth promotion.
So, how do you create an impactful impression on your event attendees? By digitizing the in-event experience using digital signage software.
Digital signage has many creative uses at an event, such as allowing attendees to share and view real-time social media feeds about the event, advertising your sponsors, displaying the event on a Google map, and notifying your attendees of event changes in real time. And all of this can be done on a single screen.
Furthermore, free software options mean that even the smallest of event businesses can transition event signs from static to digital.

You can use all the three modules under Intuiface’s free plan. However, there are limitations. You can create and run designs on different devices but these will be watermarked with Intuiface’s logo. You also only get a single reporting and analytics dashboard, and you won’t have offline access to the tool.

The tool’s free plan allows you to create and display content; however, there are limitations on storage (80MB), file size uploads (maximum 16MB), and file conversions (up to two). Also, after a 30-day period, commercials and the NoviSign logo get added to your content.
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Users mention that the tool’s pre-built templates, drag-and-drop widgets, videos, and slide shows make interactive content creation easy. | Users mention that the tool lacks 3D templates, auto-alignment of images, and an undo function. |
