A conversation about hosting and event production for the CAA college men's basketball tournament at James Madison University with Daktronics video displays. […]
The excitement of basketball tournaments is here. Attract more eyes to your digital display with data feeds, templates and creative advertising. […]
The company that organizes and runs Integrated Systems Europe says it is going ahead with the Jun 1-4 trade show in Barcelona, but has smoothed the way for exhibitors to cancel their plans for a physical exhibit. Between vaccination rates and dropping new case counts, Integrated Systems Events says it expects it will be possible to run an in-person event in Barcelona. […]
There’s an interesting webinar coming up next week that looks at a massive rollout of digital signage displays in the big box warehouse retailer Sam’s Club. Sam’s, for people overseas, is like Costco, and owned by Walmart. If Costco also confuses you, I suggest Google. […]
Samsung did a trade media preview this morning for of the upcoming Samsung V/X Live online conference, and while I was a tardy attendee, I did catch a couple of interesting bits of news once I got on. Mark Quiroz, who runs product marketing in the US market, said the company will be launching a SaaS version of its MagicINFO digital signage CMS software. Until now, the software was on-premise only. […]
The UK team behind the global Digital Signage Awards has settled on April 22 as the date to hand out this year’s awards, delayed like most things by COVID-19. […]
The digital signage ecosystem has a decidedly mixed opinion on whether or not a replacement event is needed for the now-defunct Digital Signage Expo, but there is a clear desire for some sort of event that allows industry people to gather in person. That’s what comes out of a Sixteen:Nine reader survey that gathered more than 150 responses from industry people. […]
We’re still months away, probably, from having safe in person events, so some of the largest manufacturers and distributors are filling the gap with virtual events – including a session by one of the biggest vendors out there, Samsung. The electronics giant has organized a special one-day virtual conference on March 4th, called Samsung V/X Live. […]
I just need a few more responses to that survey pushed out earlier in the week, asking about whether the industry needs a standalone replacement for the DSE trade show, or if the big pro AV trade shows suffice. I have 133 responses as I type this, and an online calculator I used suggested based on an industry of 12,000 people (semi-educated guess), I’d need 142 to have a valid sample. […]
Some recent conversations and several emails for virtual/online educational and product demo events have me thinking about DSE, and the debate about whether that now-defunct trade show and conference needs a replacement. I’m not sure reviving Digital Signage Expo as it was presented and run the last few years would make sense. […]
The big US-based pro AV distribution house Almo has another one of its virtual roadshow events coming up in early March – with content spanning three days, March 9-11. The company normally has a traveling AV circus that has stops in US cities with live speakers and product exhibits and demos, but COVID. […]
Integrated Systems Europe 2021 has opened up registration today for the big pro AV trade show, still planned for early June in Barcelona. Registration for what’s currently billed as a hybrid live/virtual show must be done online, as there will be no on-site registration for the event, the idea presumably being that asking people to queue presents unnecessary health safety risks. […]
I suppose they’re competitors, in a way, but I’m still happy to help raise awareness for an upcoming virtual digital signage conference put together by a UK publisher and guided on the day by my industry friends at Systems Contractor News and AV Nation. […]
As a diehard Canadian, I am expected to be a rabid hockey fan – but the hard truth is I am barely aware of the NHL. I have somehow managed to retain my Canadian passport despite this. The last NHL season, and the league’s All-Star weekend, all happened, to be totally accurate, sometime in the past. […]
Both InfoComm and Integrated Systems Europe sent out surveys in the last couple of days asking previous attendees (I assume) about their attitudes towards trade shows and travel as the pandemic wears on. There are several questions in the survey (did them both) about travel intentions, as well as interest and receptivity to things like hybrid and online-only trade shows. […]
