DSrupted 2016? Nope.

DSrupted 2015 Wrap-Up September 17, 2015 by Super User At roughly 4:30 Wednesday I informed the crowd at DSrupted we were done, that I was in bad need of a beer, and that if anyone else was he or she should follow me across the street to a sports bar.

DSrupted: The Future Is About Pixels Everywhere September 1, 2015 by Super User So much has happened on the software and computing side of the digital signage business in recent years that I think we tend to overlook how much has also happened on the display side.

DSrupted: How Dynamic Data Will Soon By The Digital OOH Norm August 26, 2015 by Super User I was very, very pleased when Martin Porter of the big digital OOH agency Posterscope agreed to speak at DSrupted next month.
