16:9: Digital Signage Drives Happier Holiday Travel At Toronto’s Pearson Airport

Traveling through airports during the Christmas holiday period can suck the joy out of just about anyone – between line-ups, delays, many more rookie travellers  than normal and general mayhem. So the people at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport put together an on-premise Happier Holidays campaign that uses temporary digital displays, among several tools, to inject some fun. […]

Dave Haynes: Impressions From SEGD Xlab

A few people have asked me directly or by email what I thought of Xlab this year, which made me realize I didn’t really write about the event that ran a week ago in New York. It was the fifth iteration of an event developed by the Society for Experiential Graphic Design, or the less involved handle SEGD. […]

16:9: Ad:Tech Lightning Tour

I had about three hours last week to zip up and down the aisles of Ad:Tech New York, and three hours was plenty if you are not in the online ad business. It’s all about ad networks and programmatic advertising and things like predictive marketing, of which I know absolutely zip. […]

How Four Winds Used Own Product To Boost Morale, Culture And Employee Engagement

If there was a highlight for me from last week’s Forward conference in Denver, it was probably the opening session run by David Levin, the CEO of Four Winds Interactive, which put the event on. I’d tend to think of these kick-off sessions as welcomes and walk-throughs of what to expect, and not a bunch more. […]

16:9: Impressions From Four Winds’ Forward Event

Sitting at Denver’s airport, lamenting how I managed to book a flight with a time window that pretty much mirrors the time window for tonight’s Blue Jays-Royals game. No WiFi on plane, so I am pooched. Go Jays. […]

First CorpComm and EduComm Expos About Quality, Not Quantity

The CorpComm Expo and EduComm Expo – both of them spin-offs from the mother ship Digital Signage Expo – were run for the first time last week in Atlanta, at the Georgia World Congress Center. I didn’t go, and was off all last week, so I sent a few emails around to get a sense of how the events came off. […]

16:9: DSrupted 2015 Wrap-Up

Mike Pell of Microsoft on data visualization At roughly 4:30 Wednesday I informed the crowd at DSrupted we were done, that I was in bad need of a beer, and that if anyone else was he or she should follow me across the street to a sports bar. Many did, as we tipped a celebratory pint to what I think was a very well-received second stab at a conference on disruptive technology in digital signage. […]
