Electronic message centers (EMCs) are an innovative way for businesses and communities to connect with the public, but these kinds of signs often raise aesthetic, safety and enforcement concerns for local officials. Community leaders and stakeholders often need to work together to find the proper balance in treating EMCs, while following the latest legal developments.

Download the webinar for practical guidance and case studies on regulating EMCs and leveraging the benefits this technology brings, while promoting community values during these difficult times.

This program is moderated by James Carpentier, AICP with the International Sign Association, and led by experts Todd Messenger, JD MPA with Fairfield and Woods, P.C., Wendy Moeller, FAICP with Compass Point Planning, and Kenny Peskin with the International Sign Association.
