Hong Kong Firm Behind Clusterf*ck Kinetic LED Sign In Times Square Touting Job At DSE Stand January 24, 2018 by Dave Haynes A couple of industry friends registered for DSE are on email lists for the show that included this one pushed out by Radius Displays, one of the companies behind the highly-ambitious, terribly ill-considered robotic Coca-Cola LED display in Times Square. The launch videos and photos of that kinetic LED sign for Coca-Cola in Times Square …
The 16:9 DSE Mixer Is Back For 2018 January 10, 2018 by Dave Haynes It’s a new year and people are starting to get into trade show season mode and plan their schedules for things like DSE, and the emails are already coming in asking about the annual Sixteen:Nine DSE Mixer. Yes, it’s on again. Same format. Same location. Same timeframe – the evening before the trade show floor …
DSE Lookahead: Globalshop On Same Week, Wrong City, But Bar Show On Next Door January 10, 2018 by Dave Haynes A friend pointed out that Globalshop this year is again on the same week as Digital Signage Expo, but unlike last year, the cab ride over to that show for DSE is a bit more involved. Last year, the big retail merchandising show was at the south end of the strip at the Mandalay Bay …
Women Of Digital Signage Formed As Industry Networking Group January 2, 2018 by Dave Haynes 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 Dave Haynes 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 Dave Haynes 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 Dave Haynes 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 Dave Haynes 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 Dave Haynes 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 …
