I am in Las Vegas this week, where it is a bit hot. This is what my rental car dashboard was telling me for the outside temperature at about 2 PM yesterday – 115 F. So if you are coming here for InfoComm this week, don’t worry about packing a sweater. […]
Several people have asked me if I will be organizing a third version of DSrupted, a conference focused on emerging and disruptive technologies in the signage market. The short answer is No. […]
The speaker line-up now seems to be in place for the Digital Signage Summit at InfoComm, being run by the German consultancy and event group Invidis Consulting. The summit is on Tuesday, June 7th, from 8 AM (groan) to 3:30 PM, I think/assume/better find out that it is at the Las Vegas Convention Centre. I better find out because I am among the people speaking at the thing. […]
Jim Nista of Insteo sent me a note saying he wondered if perhaps the traditional sign industry might finally be catching on that digital screens are an opportunity, and not either A) a nuisance or B) the devil’s work. […]
Florian Rotberg speaking at a 2015 European conference The big pro AV trade show InfoComm has for several years had some sort of digital signage educational conference running ahead of the exhibit hall opening, and there will be another one this year – with a European twist. […]
DX3 is a technology/digital marketing show and conference that has been running now in Toronto for a few years, and I went Thursday to see what’s up with the mostly Canadian companies that filled up an exhibit hall. It’s not an overly big show, but there’s always stuff that intrigues me. […]
Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD) is one of the sponsors this year of the annual Preset Group DSE Mixer, along with the graphics and signage firm CREO Industrial Arts. The organization is running its first designX event at the Digital Signage Expo, a full day of talk and dialogue focused on learning for creating and managing digital customer experiences. […]
I am up early, getting set to head home after a great bunch of days in Amsterdam attending Integrated Systems Europe. Numerous people asked what I thought, and my general take was and is that this is a show I need to be at each year. The same applies for anyone whose job is to stay on top of innovations and global partners and competitors. […]
I’m starting to get my head together for what will be my first time at Integrated Systems Europe, which is in Amsterdam in less than a month. Flight booked. AirBnB place arranged. […]
Four Winds Interactive did a very nice, polished job last fall with Forward, a two-day conference in hometown Denver that went well beyond the typical software company user conference. It was education instead of indoctrination. I went to it, and learned a lot more than what was on the company’s product roadmap. […]
A few people have asked me directly or by email what I thought of Xlab this year, which made me realize I didn’t really write about the event that ran a week ago in New York. It was the fifth iteration of an event developed by the Society for Experiential Graphic Design, or the less involved handle SEGD. […]
Exponation has confirmed that its fledgling CorpComm Expo and EduComm Expo trade show/conferences will be in Chicago about this time a year from now, moving from Atlanta, where the first ones were staged a couple of months ago. They will be at the Navy Pier Nov. […]
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. […]
E Ink was showing its Prism programmable tech at the SEGD XLAB event last week in New York – at a micro-booth right beside the transparent OLED that Planar was showing off. It was a study in extremes – but a reminder, as well, that both simple and very sophisticated display tech can have a role in great projects. […]
If there was a highlight for me from last week’s Forward conference in Denver, it was probably the opening session run by David Levin, the CEO of Four Winds Interactive, which put the event on. I’d tend to think of these kick-off sessions as welcomes and walk-throughs of what to expect, and not a bunch more. […]
