Looking Ahead To CEW In NYC October 28, 2014 by Super User Customer Engagement World is next week, and I took some time to see what all is there in terms of exhibitors and speakers.

Global Gaming Expo Impressions From A Digital Signage Perspective October 1, 2014 by Super User I went to the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas Tuesday – the first time I’d been at an event geared to the industry that almost entirely drives the economy in that city.

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.
