Global Signage Alliance and Digital Signage Federation Form Strategic Partnership Starting January 2026
The Global Signage Alliance (GSA) and the Digital Signage Federation (DSF) have announced a new partnership beginning January 2026. The collaboration connects two of the leading non-profit organizations in the digital-signage sector, creating new value for their members across North America and Europe.
Expanding Value for Members
Through this partnership, GSA members will gain access to exclusive DSF educational programs, including member discounts on professional online certification courses and recognized industry credentials. In return, DSF members will gain visibility in the European market through GSA’s partner network, events, and communication channels, including access to GSA’s industry newsletter and webinar series focused on European market trends and opportunities.
“This partnership brings our communities closer together,” said Mark Ossel, Chairman of the Global Signage Alliance. “Our members will benefit from DSF’s strong training and certification programs, while DSF members will gain insight and connections within the fast-growing European digital-signage market.”
Strengthening the Global Signage Community
The collaboration supports both organizations’ shared mission to promote knowledge exchange, best practices, and innovation in digital signage. By combining resources, GSA and DSF aim to help integrators, content creators, and technology providers better understand global market trends and improve operational standards.
“The DSF is excited to work with the GSA in creating new opportunities for our members,” said Frank Pisano, 2026 DSF Chair of the Digital Signage Federation. “Together, we’re expanding access to education, networking, and expertise that help the industry move forward.”
A Step Toward a More Connected Digital Signage Industry
The partnership will also include knowledge-sharing sessions, and event collaborations throughout 2026, with a key highlight being co-organized activities during ISE 2026, the largest digital signage and AV event in Europe. These activities will offer members practical insights on digital-signage deployment, content management, and emerging technologies such as cloud-based CMS platforms and analytics, while also fostering valuable cross-Atlantic connections between professionals.
