Diversified, the newly rebranded version of DMG, has acquired Technical Innovation, described as a national solutions provider of presentation AV, broadcast, IT and managed services. […]
Integrated Systems Europe is one big trade show – far bigger than InfoComm and many multiples the size of Digital Signage Expo. It has a similar flavour to InfoComm, in that you have lots of companies showing what they do in other areas of pro AV – like microphones and conference systems – that have few ties to signage. […]
Integrated Systems Europe is a trade show I’ve regularly thought about attending, but have never done – much of that owing to it being on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. But … I’d heard enough about ISE that I finally went ahead and did it, and will be there next week for the show. […]
GUEST POST: Colin Bovet, Enplug Whether you’re the Head of Culture at a tech startup or a manager at a Fortune 500 company, you should care deeply about how to communicate with your team. The study and practice of communication within companies is called internal communications, and it is crucial to boosting employee engagement. […]
One of the technologies I want to have a good, long look at next week at the big ISE trade show in Amsterdam is indoor LED – which in the past year has gone from something of a fringe, wildly-expensive product to a mainstream display option marketed by numerous traditional display manufacturers. […]
GUEST POST: Charles Regula, VIA Technologies The tech industry has trained consumers to be fixated on the next big thing. That superphone you bought two years ago very likely does everything you could need, and does it well. […]
Real estate firms putting screens in street-side windows is not new, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a spin on it like this letting agent (apartment rentals agency) in London. Kings Lettings’ new office in Shepherds Bush has a couple of high-bright 55-inch Samsung smart sign panels in the window, but each has a trio of 15-inch panels running an Android player below them. […]
[The photo is not that of Dave - Ed.] I don’t know how many meetings and conference presentations I’ve been at that sees one or more presenters, early on in their sessions, pop up a slide that shows a chart that climbs up and a big, honking number at the end – signifying the market size for digital signage. It’s almost always a number followed by 000,000,000. […]
Food giant Nestle has something called DAT (Digital Acceleration Team) centers in key offices globally – facilities designed to monitor consumer attitudes about their brands using social media and data visualization, and also train and energize staff from other offices. A new DAT has gone live at a Nestle office in Jebel Ali, in the south end of Dubai. […]
The private equity firm that owns, among many things, CIVIQ Smartscapes, has acquired Chicago-based outdoor interactive station rival Elevate DIGITAL. CIVIQ is the design and manufacturing company that’s part of a consortium putting interactive kiosks on the streets of New York City’s boroughs. […]
It was about a year ago at some trade show that I walked by a vendor booth that was trumpeting how lifting an item off a shelf would trigger content on a screen. And wasn’t that amazing!!! Well, it was kinda neat when I saw it for the first time eight or nine years earlier, but in 2015, not so much. […]
Vehicles such as nationwide ad placement, celebrity endorsements and yes, high-end digital signage don’t fit the budget, and they probably won’t hit the mark with your message either. […]
It’s six weeks tomorrow to the annual Preset Group DSE Mixer, but as of 9:01 this morning the general admission tickets were sold out. We will be hosting as many as 400 people at the annual networking event, on the eve of the trade show floor opening in Las Vegas. If you did not bag a ticket, all is not lost. […]
GUEST POST: Charles Regula, VIA Technologies Would you spend a buck a month more to buy into some peace of mind for your digital signage network? Sure you would … if you thought about it that way. But when it comes to sourcing devices for signage networks, most of the focus goes squarely to the initial, total cost of the hardware. […]
Most print companies, big and small, have struggled to transition from traditional to digital, but New York-based Duggal is a good example of one that is doing a lot more than just converting lightboxes to LCD digital posters. Consider the project Duggal just did with Audible, the audio book company owned by Amazon. […]
