Plans are well in hand for the annual Sixteen:Nine DSE Mixer – the 8th or 9th, I think. It will, as always, be on March 28th, the Tuesday night, early, and back at its preferred home: the 3rd floor of the Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip in Las Vegas. Sponsors are sorted out, as are most of the other little details. […]
Panasonic and IBM were showing a smart mirror/digital concierge last week during CES, at an offsite demo area run by IBM. The Panasonic Digital Concierge uses the IBM Watson artificial intelligence platform as part of a digital envisioned as being installed in the rooms of, let’s assume, higher-end hotels. […]
LG Display is evidently pushing all in on OLED displays this year, announcing a series of new displays that will be showing at CES this week and almost certainly at ISE in Amsterdam in a month. LG Display will show off paper-thin 65-inch and 77-inch UHD OLED displays for TVs that can be attached to the wall pretty much like wallpaper, though I’d recommend against using glue. […]
It went in one ear and out the other at the time, but in re-listening to my podcast with Digital Signage Expo show director Andrea Varrone she mentioned how Globalshop was on at the same time as DSE in Las Vegas, and that attendees could get into both shows – with one badge. […]
Digital Signage Expo is coming up in late March in Las Vegas. It will be the 14th version of the big trade show and conference. I sat down with DSE Show Director Andrea Varrone when she was up in Toronto last week, to run through what people should expect to see in 2017 at and around the show.. […]
It’s almost always been the case that the week Digital Signage Expo is on in Las Vegas is generally a pretty quiet week around the convention center and the city. Not in 2017. […]
Phil Lenger of Show and Tell is a busy guy, but he slowed down long enough to sit recently for a chat in his company’s New York offices, near Penn Station. He even offered a sip or two from one of the many, many bottles of seriously good bourbon he has stocked in the corner of Show and Tell’s meeting space. But I behaved myself, and so did he. […]
Speaking of mixers, it is 132 days until the annual DSE opening night mixer, and yeah, I’m already planning. As in the past, it will be early Tuesday evening, and almost certainly at the same venue (it’s reserved). Seven of eight sponsors are already sorted, most of them returning sponsors. […]
The 2017 edition of Digital Signage Expo have opened for registration online at www.dse2017.com The show is at the Las Vegas Convention Center March 28-31 (with the exhibit hall open March 29-30). […]
This week I am speaking with Randy Pagnan, the RP in RP Visual Solutions, an Anaheim, California company that’s in the business of designing and manufacturing the special structures that hold signature digital signage projects in place. […]
I’m not quite sure how a company based in Ottawa, Ontario got a nightclub deal in Las Vegas, Nevada, but UTG Digital Media from Canada’s capital has installed a slick LED staircase at the new JEWEL Nightclub at the Aria casino-hotel. The club opened last night and is managed by the hospitality company Hakkasan Group, which also has other clubs around the strip. […]
InfoComm 2016 in Las Vegas left systems integrators and visual designers with a vast menu of possibilities for turning just about any surface into a digital canvas. […]
Randy Dearborn has been running digital signage networks since 1993, starting with a skunkworks set-up at Treasure Island in Las Vegas and building that up to a network that covers 1,000s of screens across the MGM Resorts International portfolio. […]
The more I walked and talked here at InfoComm, the more I was drawing conclusions around what digital signage displays look like in the next five years. First, many or most of the the single displays are going to ship with embedded intelligence on them. Whatever you think of System on Chip displays, pretty much all the major manufacturers are into it, save NEC and Sharp. […]
As warned, there are indoor LED displays everywhere at this year’s edition of the big InfoComm systems integrator-pro AV nerdfest in Las Vegas. There are two massive halls for this show, and LED companies are all over the footprint of both of them. There is by no means just an area designated for them. […]
