The emails are starting to drift in, from people asking about the 2018 16:9 DSE Mixer. They go like one of these: Is it on? Where do I register? […]
Munich’s invidis consulting is again putting on a half-day Digital Signage Summit at ISE, with this one running Feb. 7th from 10 to 2 inside the labyrinth of the Amsterdam RAI complex. “As with all DSS events we will be presenting the latest market intelligence and informed opinion. […]
Guest Post: Mitch Leathers, SNA Displays For pedestrians, auto traffic, event-goers and other consumers, nothing turns heads and captures attention quite like digital signage. Mitch Leathers Dynamic and vivid LED displays prove superior at content delivery and message dissemination compared to traditional advertising tools such as printed posters, billboards and other types of static signage. […]
A couple of industry friends registered for DSE are on email lists for the show that included this one pushed out by Radius Displays, one of the companies behind the highly-ambitious, terribly ill-considered robotic Coca-Cola LED display in Times Square.

Photo – realities:united I wrote recently about the mind-wobblingly stupid art installation installed but not activated at a new Toronto subway stop. The set-up would allow anyone to walk up to a kiosk and put up a brief eight-character message on a set of suspended lights. Naughty and nasty messages would, of course, ensue. […]
The Digital Signage Awards take place at ISE Amsterdam, immediately after the last session of the DS Summit on Wednesday, February 7. There will be a 45-minute presentation to the Winners followed by a buffet lunch that is ideal for relaxed networking. […]
