Sitting at Denver’s airport, lamenting how I managed to book a flight with a time window that pretty much mirrors the time window for tonight’s Blue Jays-Royals game. No WiFi on plane, so I am pooched. Go Jays. […]
If your work in digital signage sees you in meetings where the client or the bosses start talking about their aspirations for transforming a space, or creating an experience, you kinda sorta need to get to New York in a couple of weeks for an event called Xlab. […]
photo credit: Thin Ice via photopin (license) With flights booked and lodgings sorted, I’m all set to finally go to Integrated Systems Europe 2016, which is billed as Europe’s biggest AV and systems integration show. Every January, I get emails asking if they’ll see me at ISE in Amsterdam, and every year I’ve said, “Nope.” This year, I’ll say, “Yup. […]
Four Winds Interactive is having its first big conference in Denver next week – an event called Forward that is something of a departure from typical software company events that are mostly about product education, sales and contract retention. The agenda for this event is instead populated mainly by outside speakers, albeit most of them partners or major customers. […]
The CorpComm Expo and EduComm Expo – both of them spin-offs from the mother ship Digital Signage Expo – were run for the first time last week in Atlanta, at the Georgia World Congress Center. I didn’t go, and was off all last week, so I sent a few emails around to get a sense of how the events came off. […]
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. […]
I checked in with Four Winds Interactive to ask how things are going with plans for the conference the software company is running next month in the company’s hometown city, Denver. Called Forward – the Digital Experience Conference, the event is designed to educate and inspire people who are grappling with the explosion of digital content and tech out there, and how to apply it effectively to their organizations. […]
We’re now LESS than two weeks out from DSrupted 2015 in Toronto, and things are SOMEWHAT in control. Just confirmed catering, paid the AV guys and added a new stack of badges to what’s already been sorted and given attached lanyards. We’ve even got finished badges bundled in 10-packs and hanging up so they don’t get mangled. […]
Brad Parler is coming up from Houston, Texas in a couple of weeks to talk at DSrupted.com about better, more effective content. Here’s a sneak peek at what he’ll be talking about at the Sept. 16th event – a shorter version from an interactive conference he spoke at recently, down in Houston. […]
So much has happened on the software and computing side of the digital signage business in recent years that I think we tend to overlook how much has also happened on the display side. When I got into this business 16 years ago LCD panels were small and crazily expensive, and the big flat panels were $10,000 40-inch plasma displays that weighed roughly as much as oil tankers. […]
We’re 20 days out from DSrupted – yikes! – but things are well in hand, and we even have some of the fabulous parting gifts ready to go. Courtesy of returning sponsor Rise Vision, five attendees will be randomly drawn to win a Chromebox from Asus. […]
The mighty Canadian loonie has taken a big tumble in the last year or so, its value tied to oil, gas and mines. As demand slowed, there went the dollar that was bounding around par with the US dollar the last few years. […]
The Digital Place-Based Advertising Association, aka the DPAA, has announced its speakers and agenda for the the annual Video Everywhere conference in New York, this year on Nov. 3rd. […]
