For the last couple of years, at least, Sixteen:Nine has allowed exhibitors at Digital Signage Expo to provide previews of what people will see at their stands at the trade show. I have slightly tweaked the form and it is ready to go for 2018. […]
What are the largest digital signage networks in the world? I got that question the other day, and I did not have a particularly solid, well-informed answer. A decade ago, the big networks might have had 10,000 end-points and were run by entities like lottery corporations. […]
The centerpiece of a $300 million reno job at the largest department store in Latin America – Al Palacio de los Palacios in Mexico City – is a full ceiling LED display. It’s meant as a budget-friendly and totally changeable alternative to a more traditional stained glass ceiling. […]
I was in Chicago on Tuesday, one stop in a series over the next few weeks, doing an industry overview talk to end-users for Samsung’s display team. The company has a road show going, called the Resolution Tour and I’m the outside speaker for the days., talking about stuff like data-driven signage. Next one is next Tuesday in Silicon Valley. […]
STRATACACHE CEO Chris Riegel sent me a photo from this week’s sales meetings in, I think, suburban Philly, where Scala is based. STRATACACHE is based in Dayton, OH but flying into Philly would be a lot easier. The meeting is the 2018 sales summit for North and South America, and involves about 65 people, he writes. […]
I have traded emails with Joaquim Lopes for at least couple of years now, and he has been telling me about his company 4YouSee and its efforts providing software and services to the Latin American digital signage market. He was at Integrated Systems Europe in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago, and when we finally met in person, I suggested we grab a quiet spot and do a podcast chat. […]
This is a terrific, very different way to use real-time data to drive home a compelling message for a brand – in this case a UK insurer that wanted to make small businesses aware of cyber-risks. […]
There are extremely varied opinions on what the presence of companies like Google, Adobe and Microsoft mean to the digital signage industry. On one hand, there are people who see these kinds of companies, from outside the formal business, as the ones who will eventually take over. […]
About 25 hours into DSE mixer ticketing, the thing is 2/3 subscribed. Registrations always slow down after opening day, but tickets will probably not last much past today or tomorrow. As the analytics map shows, most of the registrants, so far, are from the U.S. […]
Last week’s Integrated Systems Europe attracted almost almost 81,000 people, a massive foot traffic bump and one that spread across four days. The number of registered visitors to the Amsterdam show reached 80,923, an increase of 10.3% on the 2017 edition. […]
STRATACACHE now has 100% ownership of Scala, having acquired all outstanding Scala shares and Scala divisions around the globe including Scala Inc., Scala BV, Scala KK and Scala Nordic AS. “Scala has created an excellent brand and execution footprint around the globe over the past thirty years, tailoring their digital signage offerings to the specific needs of each global region. […]

Trade show managers like to attend other trade shows to see what’s going and how things are done, as well chat up exhibitors who might also want to hang a shingle at that trade show manager’s own event. So it was no surprise last week to find Andre Varrone – who runs Digital Signage Expo – walking the maze that is Integrated Systems Europe. […]
Guest Post: Try Hicks, Visix Trey Hicks There’s a famous tricolon popularized by British real estate tycoon Lord Harold Samuel – “location, location, location” – that was meant for property but holds true for digital signage. You want a lot of people to easily see what’s on your screens. […]
Back at a snowy world HQ after returning last night from Amsterdam, on the heels of a stupid-busy week in that city at Integrated Systems Europe. There’s no sign of a formal press release so far, but show director Mike Blackman was telling people on Friday that the show attendance surpassed 80,000. That’s up about 6,000 people from just a year earlier, and 15,000 from 2016. […]
