Video: DSrupted 2014 October 27, 2014 by Super User The good folks at the video production group Studio 10 shot a pile of interviews and B-roll to put together a reel for a client of mine during last month’s DSrupted conference in Toronto. As a favor I got them to also put together a highlight reel for the event, which will do little to …
DSrupted Speaker Ratings September 22, 2014 by Super User One of the tools used last week at DSrupted was a real-time speaker rating web app called Pheedloop, which is the product of a local Toronto start-up. They approached me with a template that was ready to go, and for all of $50, I gave it a crack. It was cool, and beat the crap …
Google Sees Chrome, Not Android, As Its Digital Signage Platform September 22, 2014 by Super User Google’s Vidya Nagarajan was our first speaker last week at DSrupted, taking attendees though the tech giant’s vision of cloud services and how it plugs in to digital signage. I barely sat down on the day, and never had time to take notes, but I did listen and did get a copy of her presentation deck …
DSrupted Talk: Doug Thompson On Beacons And Engagement September 19, 2014 by Super User Good presentations are almost always big on visuals and light on readable text, and that definitely applies to this presentation by Doug Thompson, done Wednesday for the crowd at DSrupted. As the saying goes, “You really needed to be there.” However, if you didn’t/couldn’t, here’s what Doug has posted o Slideshare. DSrupted attendees already know …
DSrupted Is In the Can; Happy Crowd, Happy Organizer September 18, 2014 by Super User It’s a few hours after DSrupted shut down, and I am just a wee bit tired. Forget about detailed coverage on what people said because the host and MC doesn’t get much time to sit and take notes. What I can say about the one-day conference – the first to focus specifically on disruptive tech …
Reminder: DSF Mixer Is Tomorrow Night In Toronto September 15, 2014 by Super User Lauren Taggart from the Digital Signage Federation tells me there are 50+ people already registered for tomorrow night’s mixer in Toronto, and she expects that if things play out as they normally do, more people will just show. The mixer – more formally called the DSF Toronto Night of Networking – runs from 6:30 to …
DSrupted Is Next Week, And Strangely In Control September 11, 2014 by Super User Doing mixers for as many as 400 people invariably taught me a few things about organization and sweating the little details, and as a result, I’m pretty calm about where planning sits for next week’s DSrupted conference in Toronto. Big, bad windy and wet weather blew through town last night so I plopped all the …
Fabulous Parting Gifts From Our DSrupted Sponsors September 7, 2014 by Super User We’ll have some genuinely “fabulous parting gifts” for the folks who register and attend DSrupted next week in Toronto. Google and Rise Vision – Google’s Vidya Nagarajan is our lead-off speaker and Rise is an event sponsor – have very kindly offered up 10 Asus Chromeboxes, teeny put powerful little devices that Rise already has in …
DSrupted Will Offer Instant Pheedback For Speakers September 4, 2014 by Super User DSrupted already has a very nice, dedicated app that enables attendees to network, message and set-up chats with other attendees. It’s called Bizzabo and I’m liking what it does. The event will also have a mobile tool that will allow attendees to not only rate speakers, but provide direct feedback and message the speakers. Instead …
Lunch at DSrupted September 4, 2014 by Super User If you are planning to go to DSrupted on the 17th, but just haven’t got around to registering, it would be great if you grabbed five minutes and did the deed. Reason: food orders. The caterer needs to know soonest how much champagne and prime rib (OK, bottled water and sandwiches) their team needs to …
