The numbers for the recent home AV/residential tech trade show CEDIA Expo are in, and both attendee and exhibitor numbers were utterly clobbered. The last normal times version of the show, in 2019, attracted almost 20,000 attendees and 500 exhibitors, when it was held in Denver two years ago. […]
When I was speaking with my friends at AVIXA several months ago, the prospects for a digital signage mixer tied in with InfoComm this .... […]
AVIXA CEO David Labuskes said barring government intervention – like local or county shutdowns – the InfoComm trade show his organization puts on is ... […]
I think this has been quietly known for some time, but Sony has made it official that it is passing on putting up a ... […]
There’s no end of speculation about the fate of AV and digital signage trade shows this fall, as the Delta variant continues to clobber people who could be vaxxed but, bewilderingly, don’t want to get jabbed. The home technologies trade show CEDIA is still set to go next week, but with way, way fewer stands and, let’s assume, people. […]
The trade association AVIXA has pushed out an update on plans for this fall’s planned InfoComm show that I think most people who were planning to go will greet with one collective, “Oh Crap! […]
It took all of about 36 hours, but I’m happy to report the digital signage mixer has a full set of sponsors and is good to go for late October in Orlando. Sponsors are needed to help cover the costs of the event – most notably in this case the cocktails. […]
The Digital Signage Federation and the trade association AVIXA have paired up again to run an industry-focused conference at InfoComm 2021 in late October in Orlando. The D=SIGN digital signage conference is a pair of half-day programs on Oct. 26-27 at the Orange County Convention Center – done in-person unlike the virtual version done last winter, pre-vaccinations. […]
If the world wasn’t still upside down with the pandemic, many of you (plus me) would be in Orlando for InfoComm this week. The bad news is COVID. The good news is that you are not having to deal with punishing heat paired with 92% humidity (unless you already live in the south and this is just life … ugh). […]
The Digital Signage Federation (DSF) and the Digital Signage Experts Group (DSEG, or for total simplicity, the Brawns), have started something called Digital Signage Certification Week – a period in June intended to promote credentialing and professional development in digital signage and experiential technologies. […]
On the immediate heels of word today from AVIXA that it is shifting its InfoComm trade show from June to October this year, Integrated Systems Europe has released a statement saying it is staying the course with its plans for a June 2021 show. But, the show says it will make a final go/no go decision by March 1. […]
InfoComm 2021 has been shifted from June 12-18 to October 23-29 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, a move necessitated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. […]
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. […]
It is late January, and InfoComm in June seems like way, way, way off – but exhibitors need to plan their presence well in advance, or with the special circumstances of the moment, decide whether or not to exhibit. In the case of Panasonic, it doesn’t see health safety conditions being at a level that would allow it to send people and product to Orlando in mid-June. […]
The Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association (AVIXA) and the Digital Signage Federation (DSF) have pushed out numbers on the recent D=SIGN: the Digital Signage Conference, with more than 2,500 industry people registering. “Total registrations for D=SIGN came to 2,540, and 41% were from outside the U.S.,” the organizations say in joint PR.
