The annual Digital Signage Expo is less than three months out now, so it’s time for me to have a look at at what’s up with the event this year, as well as start planning the annual Preset Group Mixer. The latter is already somewhat in hand – the venue secure and several sponsors lined up. […]
I’m speaking at a Customer Engagement Technology Conference in a couple of weeks in Dubai. It’s one of those places I’ve wanted to see, and also a place that I gather has a lot shaking in the digital signage sector. My talk is Nov. […]
And we’re back. What’d I miss? I dutifully ignored all but a couple of email-based fires, so for all I know there were big mergers and massive product announcements. […]
Taking Friday and next week off, so few (or more likely no) posts. Playing golf with son. Based on my time at the driving range today, I will spend a lot of time in the trees. […]
Mike Pell of Microsoft on data visualization At roughly 4:30 Wednesday I informed the crowd at DSrupted we were done, that I was in bad need of a beer, and that if anyone else was he or she should follow me across the street to a sports bar. Many did, as we tipped a celebratory pint to what I think was a very well-received second stab at a conference on disruptive technology in digital signage. […]
Here’s a stack of pix from the Digital Signage Federation event at Yorkdale shopping centre on Tuesday night, courtesy of Stephanie Gutnik of BroadSign. There were roughly 50 people, who were broken up into teams of 4 to go on a signage scavenger hunt in the ritzy mall – noting everything from the excellent to the “ugly babies. […]
We’re just two sleeps out from DSrupted now, and at least three of my five speakers are hopping on planes tomorrow to get here – as will a pile of people coming from as far away as Phoenix and Atlanta. We’ve passed last year’s attendance number and, as a result, will have a pretty full house. […]
The Digital Signage Expo people have opened up the submissions process for its annual Apex awards for content and installation work, with a November deadline to get your pitches in. DSE moved the awards event from a dinner (which it ran for several years) to a breakfast in 2015. […]
The Digital Signage Federation is again getting involved with DSrupted, running a mixer the night before the conference at a restaurant-bar at Canada’s swishiest mall. The DSF Night Of Networking is at Moxie’s Grill & Bar, at Yorkdale Shopping Centre, from 6 to 9 PM on Sept. 15th. […]
After a second stretch of busy this year that has me pretty much in a fugue state (though tallboy cans of Shock Top snap me right out of it), I’m having a sufficiently slow week that there’s been time to actually plan. Cool concept. Must do that more. […]
The whole serve an ad based on gender and age range things has never really caught on in digital OOH or retail, but here’s an example of something I think actually works because the gender piece is front and center, and it’s meant to be funny and engaging. […]
The Digital Signage Federation is running a Meet and Greet Mixer for members and prospective members next week in Dallas. The event is March 25th at 6:30 PM at Del Frisco’s Grille, 3232 McKinney Ave. It runs until 8:30. […]
This makes my head hurt. And my feet. My back. […]
We had about 340 people out last night to the 6th annual Preset Group DSE Mixer at the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas. That’s the biggest crowd ever. We had people hanging out in the lobby, ahead of the event. […]
The first name badges get handed out and the first drinks poured for the 6th annual Preset Group Mixer – the now traditional social opener to Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas. This will undoubtedly be the largest, and we should be seeing at least 350 people tonight. That’s roughly 10 percent of the crowd attending the trade show. […]
