That’s a Wrap on Sales Expo 2023
We are still riding our high from Sales Expo 2023! Our sign company partners always bring energy and make the event an exciting three days. This year, our headquarters hosted 58 attendees (38 first timers) from 30 different sign companies.

Speakers and Sessions
Lisa Ryan shared new perspectives and advice for creating a culture of gratitude both at work and in our personal lives. She explained how gratitude not only enhances the experience of those around us, but also described the science and psychology behind how a positive, thankful attitude enhances your own life.
The following morning, some attendees already had stories about how they put her tips into practice and the responses they received!
Our product and sales experts shared their wisdom on the latest updates in the LED and LCD industry. From new training options in Venus Control Suite to new products (like the FL-5000 and All-in-One Smart LED), our attendees went home with the knowledge to sell these displays.
We also dug into the technical details that make up the Daktronics Difference. Our lead engineer and head of manufacturing for our Redwood Falls location talked through what precautions we have been taking to ensure our products maintain their quality through unprecedented supply chain difficulties.
For new perspectives, we brought in a panel of end users who have purchased Daktronics products. They shared what factors play into their decision-making process and what features are of the most value to them.
Another panel featured representatives from three sign companies. They provided insights on navigating customer budgets, explaining why high-quality products matter, and incorporating digital into both outdoor and indoor installations.
Sign Design Contest
One of our favorite parts of Sales Expo is seeing the creative work our sign company partners have done throughout the year. We had a record-breaking 13 submissions, and these are our winners, elected by the attendees:
