BMO Centre at Stampede Park

iGotcha Media’s approach followed the agency’s design-thinking methodology, a human-centred framework that aligns user needs, technology innovation, and business objectives. The engagement began with on-site discovery, including site visits and comprehensive content audits that enabled a SWOT-based assessment of the venue’s existing communication touchpoints, visitor behaviours, and opportunities for digital enhancement.

Insights from this phase informed experience strategies across multiple use cases, including intuitive wayfinding, event directories, meeting room scheduling, advertising placements, and immersive experiential moments throughout the venue. From there, the team moved into ideation and prototyping, mapping how digital signage could support intuitive navigation, clear event communication, and revenue-generating opportunities while maintaining clarity and usability for guests.

Guided by these insights, iGotcha Media architected a unified digital ecosystem powered by the iGotcha Signage CMS, a scalable and secure platform capable of managing diverse content types, automating updates, and supporting custom integrations. Through tailored development, the system was integrated with MappedIn for interactive wayfinding and Momentus to dynamically deliver live event data across the signage network, powering event directory screens, meeting room displays, and wayfinding interfaces with accurate schedules and room assignments.

Additional custom development supported the meeting room booking interface and enabled alternate map views for temporary trade show layouts, ensuring the platform could adapt to changing event configurations.

To ensure reliability ahead of launch, the solution was tested extensively in-office using parallel hardware environments before deployment. Installation was then carefully coordinated around the client’s operational schedule to support a seamless rollout during the busy holiday season. Following launch, iGotcha Media continues to provide monitoring, optimization, and ongoing support, ensuring the digital signage ecosystem evolves alongside the venue’s programming, visitor needs, and revenue opportunities.

The integrated digital wayfinding and content ecosystem delivers a more intuitive, data-driven guest experience while supporting operational efficiency and new revenue opportunities. Visitors can quickly orient themselves and navigate to halls, exhibitors, meeting rooms, and amenities through a clear, touch-enabled interface enhanced by real-time schedules pulled directly from Momentus.

Temporary map overlays allow kiosks to display trade show booth layouts during events, helping attendees locate exhibitors easily within dynamically configured spaces. Guests can also send directions to their mobile devices, enabling mobile navigation that extends the kiosk experience beyond the screen and into the venue environment.

Event directory displays and meeting room screens provide clear, real-time schedules powered by Momentus, while the custom meeting room booking interface simplifies room management for staff and event organizers.

Sensor-driven experiential content increases engagement by transforming passive screens into responsive touchpoints that activate when guests approach, creating memorable moments that encourage interaction. Powered by iGotcha Signage across more than 175 licensed displays, the network enables centralized control, real-time updates, and future scalability.

The reimagined digital signage sales package provides the BMO Centre team with a structured, market-ready framework to monetize the network. Clearly defined advertising packages, including spotlighted ad placements and event-based promotional opportunities, make it easier to present value to partners while maintaining a cohesive guest experience.

Together, these elements demonstrate how thoughtful technology integration, live data connectivity, and context-aware content strategies can elevate visitor experiences in large-scale event venues while delivering operational and commercial value.
