OCVIBE Partners with Daktronics for a Digital Experience Revolution

In an exciting development, OCVIBE, a vast 100-acre mixed-use district currently under construction near Honda Center in Anaheim, California, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Daktronics, a globally recognized leader in digital display technology. With a substantial investment of $25 million, this collaboration aims to create a sophisticated digital display system that promises to enhance guest engagement, wayfinding, and the overall experience across the entire OCVIBE campus.

A New Standard for Digital Engagement

OCVIBE’s ambitious plan includes the installation of approximately 20,000 square feet of cutting-edge LED displays, strategically placed in key areas of the district’s Urban Park. This initiative is not only about aesthetics; it’s aimed at establishing a new benchmark for integrated digital experiences in Southern California. OCVIBE Senior Vice President Graham Siderius emphasizes the vision that these digital displays will serve as more than mere screens, integrating seamlessly into the environment to enhance guest experiences and foster connections.

The technology will enable real-time engagement opportunities, allowing visitors to interact with content dynamically, thereby creating memorable moments each time they visit.

Connecting Communities with Technology

According to Robin Hall, Daktronics' Live Events Regional Sales Manager, the technology’s earlier integration into the development will unlock limitless potential for engaging the public. By embedding this digital infrastructure, OCVIBE aims to cultivate an environment where cultural events, dining experiences, and social interactions are amplified through technology.

The Daktronics partnership builds on a 20-year relationship with the Honda Center, where their technology has rejuvenated the fan experience for countless events involving the NHL's Anaheim Ducks. This synergy not only signifies technological advancement but also highlights a commitment to fostering a richly connected community.

Features of the Innovative Digital Display System

The immersive Daktronics system will comprise a network of large-scale digital displays scattered throughout OCVIBE’s public spaces. Notable features include:

• - A 36-foot high by 126-foot wide media screen located in the Urban Park, designed to draw attention and anchor the social landscape of the district.
• - A prominent 32.5-foot high by 126-foot wide marquee positioned at the Katella and Cerritos parking garages, which will serve as a striking entry point into the community.
• - More than 400 additional screens across various strategic locations, including parking areas and public squares, facilitating wayfinding and providing event information.

Future-Proofing Community Experiences

The intention behind this partnership extends beyond technological implementation. OCVIBE aims to create an adaptable platform that can evolve alongside community needs, supporting not only event planners and organizations but also providing a space that cultivates local culture.

Katie Pederson, Vice President of Special Events at OCVIBE, highlights the flexibility of the integrated display technology that will cater to a myriad of events—from fan gatherings to seasonal markets. This adaptability is poised to establish OCVIBE as a premier destination for vibrant year-round experiences in Southern California.

As the OCVIBE district approaches its first phase debut in early 2027, the excitement continues to build around how these revitalized spaces will serve the community.

Commitment to Local Growth

OCVIBE’s commitment to innovation is provided through collaboration with like-minded partners from various sectors, fostering a vibrant ecosystem where businesses and communities can thrive together. Along with Daktronics, partnerships with entities like UCI Health, Rady Children's Hospital, and YAAMAVA Resort & Casino demonstrate an enthusiastic movement towards enriching Anaheim's landscape.

As the development progresses, OCVIBE is keen to establish a connectedness that goes beyond mere physical spaces but also brings a deeper sense of belonging and excitement for visitors. By prioritizing these partnerships, OCVIBE is set on paving the way for a reimagined urban experience in Orange County and establishing a new hub of activity that promotes engagement, culture, and entertainment for all.
