If you work in Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City or even upstate New York and Vermont, have a think about getting into Montreal next Wednesday for the Digital Signage Federation’s Meet and Greet mixer.

The nine-year-old Digital Signage Awards is stepping up its game for 2019, on the heels of 2018 awards that had, for the first time, a physical event. The 2018 awards were held during ISE, immediately after Invidis’ Digital Signage Summit. The 2019 event will again be held during ISE, but this time at a lovely old building in central Amsterdam. […]
ISE had a press conference today in Barcelona, outlining its reasoning and plans behind moving the big pro AV show in 2021 to Barcelona. The show organizers laid out the thinking – notably the need to have a space large enough and destination attractive enough to keep growing the show. […]
Integrated Systems Europe is moving to Barcelona, Spain starting in 2021 – leaving the lovely but damp, gray and chilly February climes of Amsterdam.

Just-ended InfoComm show attracted nearly 43,000 registered attendees, up about 10 percent from the last time InfoComm was held in Las Vegas, in 2016. The crowd was just a bit less than Orlando 2017, which pulled 44,000. AVIXA, which runs the show, says InfoComm 2018 visitors hailed from all 50 United States and 108 countries, with 20 percent of attendees from outside the U.S. […]
LAS VEGAS – I didn’t think it was possible, but Fremont Street is even weirder than the last time I spent a night around there. The ride history feature on Lyft’s app is a very effective tool for dealing with the “What time did you get in?” question. […]
North American pros will get a first look this week at Infocomm at the transparent color LED film that LG first showed a few months ago at ISE in Amsterdam. The film is touted as a way to turn any window or glass surface into a customizable digital canvas.

Data visualization guru Mike Pell, who spoke a couple of years back at the DSrupted conference I ran in Toronto, talks about the difference between a visualization that is clearly beautiful, versus one that is beautifully clear. The big interactive agency SapientRazorfish is showing a digital installation this week at the Money2020 payments and financial services conference in Amsterdam. […]
I am working out arrangements with a live streaming company that wants to show its capabilities in real-time at InfoComm next week. They offered, and I grabbed the chance to do a live walk-through of whatever seems like the best area to look around at the show – probably where the display companies are located. […]
The world’s biggest sporting event gets started in a matter of a couple of weeks, and the World Cup squads for many of the footballing countries who qualified are already gathering for training, and generating news. […]
I am starting to wrap my head around InfoComm, which is coming up in early June in Las Vegas. It’s not a show I attend to see new stuff. I go to spend the poking around time that I never get during Digital Signage Expo. […]
