Women Of Digital Signage Formed As Industry Networking Group January 2, 2018 by Super User One quick look around an industry event is all you need to conclude the digital signage industry is like almost all tech-based industries – lopsidedly male in overall headcounts, and particularly at executive levels. I don’t think the gender seesaw will get balanced in my working lifetime, but it is s l o o …
DSE 2017 Sees 20% Spike In Overall Attendance From Recent Years April 14, 2017 by Super User Digital Signage Expo saw a nice bump in foot traffic at this year’s edition of the annual trades show – with more than 4,900 attendees. That was up from about 4,100 in 2016 – a number that had kinda flatlined in recent years. The show stresses in its press release the number of end-users was roughly …
DSE May Be Over But The Trade Show And Conference Season Is Anything But … April 6, 2017 by Super User Digital Signage Expo is over but trade show and conference season is anything but over. There are many events in the coming three months that touch or focus on digital signage, among them: InfoComm China – There’s a track on digital signage at the event next week in Beijing. I know because I am speaking …
Reflect Adds AdLogic In-House Retail Ad Planning Platform April 4, 2017 by Super User One of the slightly curious things I learned last week at DSE was Reflect – which I totally think of as a retail-centric digital signage CMS – introducing an advertising platform. My first reaction was: “Huh?” Between Ayuda and BroadSign, and a handful of others out there, that turf is well-covered. Then there are the …
The Thing I Maybe Liked Best At Digital Signage Expo Was Not Digital Signage April 3, 2017 by Super User It’s slightly weird that the thing I perhaps liked the most on the DSE show floor last week wasn’t digital signage tech in any conventional sense, but what really caught my eye was the flip-disc display shown by the Brooklyn-based tech/agency shop Breakfast. It is decades-old technology that rapidly flips little plastic discs between black and white, …
Another Great DSE Mixer April 3, 2017 by Super User Two Canadians, of course, showed up for the annual Sixteen:Nine DSE Mixer 30 minutes before the drinks were officially starting to pour. And they were already lit up from cocktails at the NanoLumens open house. By the height of the mixer last Tuesday evening, I am guessing we had about 260-270 in there – which …

My DSE 2017 Impressions: More People; Better, Faster, Brighter, Thinner Tech April 1, 2017 by Super User I don’t have the numbers on DSE 2017, but my general sense from conversations with show people is that the counts were up over last year – good news as the numbers were sort of flatlined the last few years. There were definitely more exhibitors and more overall floor space, though the back of the hall …
DSE 2017 Is Done March 31, 2017 by Super User Normally I write daily wrap-up posts on DSE, but as you may have noticed, not this year. Too freaking busy. Day 1 started at 7 and ended after midnight, or something like that. Let’s say that part’s a little fuzzy and leave it at that. Vegas. Day 2 was nutty, as well. On a plane …
DSE 2017 PR Roundup: BrightSign March 27, 2017 by Super User BrightSign seems to be on a bit of a march to get CMS software companies adding support for its boxes in the same way developers are supporting PCs, Android players and system on chip displays.
