Pretty much bang-on 5:25 last night the 3rd floor elevator dinged and opened up, with the first of what was a wave of people arriving and ready to go for the 10th annual 16:9 Mixer, which has grown into the traditional first big networking event of Digital Signage Expo week. […]
This note was already sent a while back to registered mixer attendees, but we all know the open rates on emails ain’t great, so I will reproduce this message here on Helpful Tips for attending tonight’s 10th annual 16:9 DSE Mixer. The Venue The mixer is once again at the Hard Rock Cafe on the strip, down by the MGM and across from NY/NY and where the pro hockey team plays. […]
The organization behind the biggest pro AV trade show on the planet has issued a statement that makes it clear a trade show in India with a suspiciously similar name is unrelated. Integrated Systems Events, which runs Integrated Systems Europe (or ISE), says it has no connection to AV Integrated Systems Expo Mumbai, which uses AV-ISE as the shortened version. […]
If there was a broad theme I could pick up from two days of listening to various retail operators and investors, and wandering the exhibit hall of Shoptalk, it was personalization. Just about anyone I heard spoke about a need for retailers to create a shopping experience that was more relevant and personal to each buyer. […]
I am in Las Vegas attending Shoptalk, a retail tech conference that has some 8,400 attendees and a way bigger trade show hall than I expected. The conference side of Shoptalk is what compelled me to get on a long flight here, just three weeks before I need to be back for Digital Signage Expo. The organizers have keynotes, five conference tracks and lots of on-the-floor mini-theatres for vendors. […]

I’m not totally sure LG has publicly shown its LED on transparent film product in Canada, but if not, that will change next week at a retail marketing and tech event in Toronto, called Dx3. LG is working with Montreal’s iGotcha Media on a couple of showcases for the annual trade show, including a demo of tech that’s been showcased the last couple of years at ISE and InfoComm. […]

The 2019 DSE Mixer is now sold out – a little more than a couple of days after registration went live on Wednesday morning. That’s 350 tickets plus the 90 I hold back for sponsors’ invites. I plan for 400, so I anticipate at least 40 no-shows (and there are usually more than that). […]
It has been 24 hours since registration went up on the 2019 16:9 Digital Signage Expo Mixer, and there are less than 80 badges left for open registrants. I hold back about 100 of the 440 for sponsors and their invited guests. SO … if you wanna go, don’t procrastinate. […]
Integrated Systems Europe has released the final numbers on last week’s trade show in Amsterdam, and it once again exceeded previous numbers, though just barely this time. ISE has seen some dizzyingly rapid growth in recent years, with big jumps in attendance and other key indicators year on year. For 2019, 81,268 people turned up. […]
Back at World HQ after a week in Amsterdam – and for the 2nd time in four ISE visits dealing with a whopper of a cold no doubt picked up when amongst 80,000 people. I have not seen formal attendance numbers, but assume foot traffic would be similar to or exceed 2018. It didn’t SEEM as busy, except for Wednesday, but the actual numbers will tell the story. […]
The globally-based Digital Signage Awards were handed out last week in Amsterdam, with about 120 nominees and guests attending the awards reception and dinner at an old theatre right in the old city’s central district.
