We have six loyal returning sponsors and one new sponsor – Freshwater Digital Media Partners. They will all get profiled in the weeks ahead, but I wanted to get a note out ahead of the …
You Say You Want A Revolution (Mixer Venue Now Set) December 17, 2013 by Dave Haynes After waaaaay too much work, I am crazily happy to report the agreement is signed and we have locked down the venue for the big Preset Mixer in (gulp) a few weeks in Las Vegas – The Revolution Lounge in the Mirage. It’s a great venue and I feel a lot better about this place …

2014 Preset Group Digital Signage Expo Mixer Taking Shape November 19, 2013 by Dave Haynes Planning for the 2014 Preset Mixer started, in some ways, right after the 2013 edition. We loved the space, so we put a hold on it, and started talking about tweaks on the formula. All was tracking nicely, and then we had to make a venue change. The Hard Rock on the Strip tripled the …

DSE 2013 Stats Up Across Board March 7, 2013 by Dave Haynes The Digital Signage Expo people have released stats for last week, some I am not convinced I was supposed to see (and will hold back on). Actual attendance was 4,080, which was up slightly from a year earlier and not as high as expected, as the DSE folks speculate that there were some 1,400 no-shows …
Video Blog: Samsung’s New SoC Smart Signage March 7, 2013 by Dave Haynes My Signagelive friends, Jason Cremins and Raffi Vartian, have been talking up a storm with anyone who will listen about the merits and possibilities of Samsung’s SoC product, which was announced at ISE and then announced formally for the N. America market last week at DSE. It interests me as a product for a few …
Video Blog: Wandering The Sides And Back Of The DSE Floor March 6, 2013 by Dave Haynes It took a while, but here’s the second of three video posts we shot last week on the DSE show floor. The premise for this one is simple enough. People naturally gravitate to the big booths when they walk into trade shows. Being slightly nuts, and having been at this show many, many times, I …
Mixer Wrap-Up And 2014 Plans March 5, 2013 by Dave Haynes I sent off an email to everyone who registered for last week’s mixer, thanking them for coming out (297 did) and asking for comments. A separate email went to sponsors. The consensus seems to be that the venue was ideal in location, size, style and service – so our much-travelled little event may finally have …
Intel And Sapient Demo’d Nice Interactive Retail Piece At DSE (with Video) March 5, 2013 by Dave Haynes I have seen some stuff at Intel’s booth at past DSEs that I thought were interesting but didn’t have a prayer of ever getting outside a trade show booth environment.
