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? […]
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. The launch videos and photos of that kinetic LED sign for Coca-Cola in Times Square look amazing, but the thing has been a technical mess. […]
It’s a new year and people are starting to get into trade show season mode and plan their schedules for things like DSE, and the emails are already coming in asking about the annual Sixteen:Nine DSE Mixer. Yes, it’s on again. Same format. […]
A friend pointed out that Globalshop this year is again on the same week as Digital Signage Expo, but unlike last year, the cab ride over to that show for DSE is a bit more involved. Last year, the big retail merchandising show was at the south end of the strip at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. This year, it’s in Chicago. […]
One quick look around an industry event is all you need to conclude the digital signage industry is like almost all tech-based industries – lopsidedly male in overall headcounts, and particularly at executive levels. I don’t think the gender seesaw will get balanced in my working lifetime, but it is s l o o o o o w l y changing. […]
Digital Signage Expo saw a nice bump in foot traffic at this year’s edition of the annual trades show – with more than 4,900 attendees. That was up from about 4,100 in 2016 – a number that had kinda flatlined in recent years. The show stresses in its press release the number of end-users was roughly 2,100 – an all-time high and the number exhibitors truly care about. […]
Digital Signage Expo is over but trade show and conference season is anything but over. There are many events in the coming three months that touch or focus on digital signage, among them: InfoComm China – There’s a track on digital signage at the event next week in Beijing. I know because I am speaking at it, talking about data-driven content. […]
One of the slightly curious things I learned last week at DSE was Reflect – which I totally think of as a retail-centric digital signage CMS – introducing an advertising platform. My first reaction was: “Huh?” Between Ayuda and BroadSign, and a handful of others out there, that turf is well-covered. […]
It’s slightly weird that the thing I perhaps liked the most on the DSE show floor last week wasn’t digital signage tech in any conventional sense, but what really caught my eye was the flip-disc display shown by the Brooklyn-based tech/agency shop Breakfast. […]
Two Canadians, of course, showed up for the annual Sixteen:Nine DSE Mixer 30 minutes before the drinks were officially starting to pour. And they were already middle lit up from cocktails at the NanoLumens open house. By the height of the mixer last Tuesday evening, I am guessing we had about 260-270 in there – which is impressive … except that I printed 430 badges. […]
Here are the winners of the APEX Awards for digital signage content and projects, announced last week at DSE. Razorfish and Dreambox Visual Communications took home the top honors of the night, winning the APEX Installation of the Year and APEX Content of the Year awards, respectively. The two overall winners were selected from the nine Gold award winners. […]
I don’t have the numbers on DSE 2017, but my general sense from conversations with show people is that the counts were up over last year – good news as the numbers were sort of flatlined the last few years. […]
Normally I write daily wrap-up posts on DSE, but as you may have noticed, not this year. Too freaking busy. Day 1 started at 7 and ended after midnight, or something like that. […]
BrightSign seems to be on a bit of a march to get CMS software companies adding support for its boxes in the same way developers are supporting PCs, Android players and system on chip displays. Ahead of DSE this week, the Silicon valley manufacturers has announced ComQi, Four Winds Interactive and Signagelive have all integrated their platforms with the company’s Series 3 media players. […]
