Augusta Convention Center Upgrades Digital Signage System
The Augusta Convention Center, known for hosting key events and conferences, has taken a significant step forward in enhancing the guest experience through the recent upgrade of its digital signage system. Collaborating with Noventri, a leader in hospitality-focused solutions, the Convention Center has successfully installed a state-of-the-art wayfinding totem and modernized its entire media player infrastructure.
A Venue of Distinction
Established in 2013, the Augusta Convention Center has earned its reputation as a premier venue in Georgia's hospitality and event landscape. With over 100,000 square feet of versatile event space, including a massive 40,000-square-foot exhibit hall, the Convention Center artfully combines modern amenities with historical elements. Situated on the banks of the Savannah River, it is especially popular during the well-attended Masters Tournament, making it a hub for visitors and attendees alike.
However, the center previously faced ongoing challenges with its outdated digital signage system, which required daily manual reboots, wasting precious time for IT staff and causing possible confusion for event attendees. This led to the decision to partner with Noventri, whose systems are known for their reliability and efficiency.
The Transition to Noventri
Since the installation of Noventri's digital signage solutions, the Augusta Convention Center has reported impressive results. According to Blake Chambers, Director of Event Technology at the center, “Since the installation, we haven't had to reboot a single device. This has allowed us to reclaim hours every day and has significantly enhanced the reliability of signage across the facility.” This transition not only eliminated daily disruptions but also improved the overall experience for guests navigating the venue.
The integration of Noventri's system with the Marriott CI/TY property management software allows for seamless, real-time updates on events and meetings throughout the signage network, making it easier for guests to find their way. David Linetsky, the Founder and CEO of Noventri, emphasizes the importance of reliability in hospitality environments: “Hotels and convention centers have enough to manage. Our job is to make digital signage one less thing they have to think about.” This commitment to making digital signage intuitive and worry-free is evident in the upgrades made at the Augusta Convention Center.
Improved Navigation for Guests
The newly installed wayfinding totem display is designed to facilitate easy navigation throughout the building, ensuring that guests can find their destinations without hassle. This improvement is particularly valuable during large conferences where many attendees may be unfamiliar with the layout of the facility.
Overall, the upgraded digital signage system reflects the Augusta Convention Center’s dedication to providing a streamlined and pleasant experience for all visitors. The investment in Noventri’s technology is seen as a proactive approach to enhancing guest satisfaction, ensuring the venue remains competitive and appealing in the ever-evolving hospitality market.
