The new Air Jordan store, opened in downtown Toronto in 2017, is a three-story retail environment created with the notion of providing a true customer experience. It features an underground kids-only concourse, an industrial-designed retail level, and an upper athletic training facility. […]
For, I think, the 47th year in a row, Adrian from DailyDOOH interviewed industry luminaries – and me – for a video series at the NEC booth, this time above ISE’s teeming hordes in a 2nd level cafe/meeting area that had very nice people bringing much needed, nicely made coffees to weary attendees. The full list of interviews – there are many – is here. […]
Tuesday was reported as seeing record crowds, and I swear it was busier Wednesday. Have not seen the numbers but it definitely didn’t seem to drop off. I know there are numerous people just coming in starting today, as the ISE crowds are supposed to slow after the first two days. […]
Digital signage CMS software firm ComQi has reportedly been acquired for $28 million USD by Taiwanese flat panel display manufacturer AU Optronics in a play to become a total solutions provider in this industry. It’s a lot of money, and from what I understand is more than what Stratacache paid for Scala. […]
I saw a tweet from someone this morning that suggested Day 1 of ISE pulled in 32,000 people, and it felt like that in most of the halls. Crazy busy. Jammed walkways. […]
The buzz around Integrated Systems Europe is that the show, which is sort of on now but really opens tomorrow, could push past 80,000 attendees. That’s a lot of people to squeeze into the RAI conference center in Amsterdam, even with a jumbo temporary tent out front and a new exhibit are that has taken out most of the food court outside the digital signage hall. […]
Guest Post: Richard Murton, Display Technology Richard Murton The healthcare industry sees large numbers of people walking in and out of their doors on a regular basis, and of course, each and every one of them is completely different to the next. […]
I’m headed back to Amsterdam this weekend and will be at Integrated Systems Europe all next week, so posts may be spotty. I have a few booth tours set up but mostly I avoid that sort of thing, as appointments very quickly chew up all of my time. […]
NanoLumens‘ skinny-curvy LED display tech has found its way into at least of couple of high profile airport jobs recently, like Singapore’s Changi and Toronto Pearson. The Atlanta company is doing enough work in airports that it has generated a free white paper looking at the opportunity and challenges. […]
A digital OOH company focused on the retail cannabis business has closed a $3 million Series A funding round from an investment form that’s also focused on the rapid-growth industry. Eyechronic runs a screen network in some 300 stores across 16 U.S. states where cannabis and sale is now legal in some fashion. […]
There’s a lot of buzz in the digital signage industry, as well as the markets the industry serves, about fine pixel pitch LED displays, and their ability to create bright, seamless visuals that transform spaces. […]
Twelve judges, under my maniacal chairmanship, scrutinized up to 30 entries each and awarded up to 100 points across six columns to help decide the 2018 Digital Signage Awards Finalists, as well as High Commendations and Category Winners. The winners will all be announced next week at ISE in Amsterdam, at a luncheon. […]
It will be BroadSign Control under the hood, going forward, for the digital poster network run by smart cities-centric media company Intersection. […]
New version releases of signage gear don’t tend to get me too excited, but given the volume and breadth of BrightSign’s player business – and the number of software companies now integrating to their little purple boxes – it’s worth noting that a set of new units will have their debut next week at ISE. […]
The digital signage industry has gradually come around to the idea that buyers are less interested in how things work than they are in what the things will do for them.
