Remembrance Day is an important day dedicated to remembering those who have died while serving in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.
The significance of Remembrance Day, and in particular the minute of silence, means it is crucial to have the right audio-visual set-up in your venue.
To assist you with your Remembrance Day planning, we have a selection of audio and visual assets you can queue ahead of time via the Manage My Nightlife app.

Managing In-Venue Screens
It’s important to ensure you have a screen management plan in place. To assist you, we’ve created Remembrance Day images you can use on your screens.
You might like to program one slide to stay up for the day or intersperse slides with special messages reminding patrons about the minute’s silence leading up to 11am. Whatever you decide, the images in your Digital Signage Library will help you keep everyone informed.
