Twelve judges, under my maniacal chairmanship, scrutinized up to 30 entries each and awarded up to 100 points across six columns to help decide the 2018 Digital Signage Awards Finalists, as well as High Commendations and Category Winners. The winners will all be announced next week at ISE in Amsterdam, at a luncheon. […]
The major LCD display companies have pretty much all introduced fine pitch LED products to deal with a shift away from flat panels to LED modules for video walls, and now pure-play projector companies appear to be on the same path. […]
Munich’s invidis consulting is again putting on a half-day Digital Signage Summit at ISE, with this one running Feb. 7th from 10 to 2 inside the labyrinth of the Amsterdam RAI complex. “As with all DSS events we will be presenting the latest market intelligence and informed opinion. […]
The Digital Signage Awards take place at ISE Amsterdam, immediately after the last session of the DS Summit on Wednesday, February 7. There will be a 45-minute presentation to the Winners followed by a buffet lunch that is ideal for relaxed networking. […]
Integrated Systems Europe is now just a matter of weeks away, with the doors to the massive pro AV trade show in Amsterdam set to open on February 6th. The show has broken attendance records in recent years, and it looks very much like the 2018 number will exceed last year’s count of 73,000-plus. […]
The judges for the Digital Signage Awards have put in their assessments and short lists have been developed across the various categories. The winners will be announced and awards handed out on February 7 at Integrated Systems Europe, as part of the trade show’s Digital Signage Summit. […]
The next big industry-ish trade shows are CES in Las Vegas and NRF in NYC, but I am definitely skipping CES (mostly consumer tech and a too damn many people, everywhere) and I am too busy to sneak down for the retail show. So my head is now getting into Integrated Systems Europe, which is in just a few weeks in Amsterdam. […]
Integrated Systems Europe 2018 is now just a couple of months out, and from what I am reading and hearing the already huge show is even bigger – with more halls and more educational components. […]
If you are at ISE in Amsterdam in not all that long from now, you may want to block out an evening to get over by the main rail station to take in a projection mapping exhibition/competition. The World Masters of Projection Mapping competition is running in that city from Jan. 14th to Feb. […]

The global rebranding effort – roughly four years in the works – was announced today to Infocomm volunteers and partners, as well as to trade press, in the Washington, DC-area, where the organization is based.

Most of the companies I sit down with on these podcasts are well-established, and my interview subjects have a lot if history behind them. But I got pitched by a French start-up called CityMeo, and I agreed to meet up for a chat several weeks ago at ISE in Amsterdam, even though I knew zero about them. […]
Martin Romanowski is the CEO of the Swedish CMS software firm Smartsign, which has been providing a digital signage solution all the way back into the late 1990s. His company is best known in Europe, and it has offices in eight countries and users in more than 30. Romanowski and I chatted at ISE in Amsterdam, where his crew had a large booth. […]
I’ve known Jerome Moeri, the CEO of Navori, for more than a decade, but we’ve never had much of a chance to have a good long chat. That changed at ISE a few weeks ago, when we slotted half an hour to talk about how the Swiss software company got started and where it is going. Jerome’s a soft-spoken guy, but if you lean in to listen, the story is quite interesting. […]
There’s lotsa talk out there about LED taking over from LCD for video walls, and LED being used as the architectural design surface for things like feature walls in retail and corporate lobbies. But how about LED as the ceiling? […]
SpinetiX has been on the digital signage scene for more than a decade now, and if you are in the business, you may know them as the Swiss guys who market a really nice little aluminum-clad, solid state playback box. They had that 10 years ago, when a lot of signage networks were still going in with desktop PCs. What always stumped me was the price – which seemed really high. […]
