InfoComm Crowd Up 4% Over 2011 June 16, 2012 by Super User Estimating crowds is not among my meagre set of skills, so any impression that I had that InfoComm didn’t seem overly busy had to be balanced out by that. Turns out, crowds were in fact up over last year. The just-finished InfoComm 2012 in Las Vegas saw 34,268 attendees, up four percent over a year earlier …
InfoComm 2012 Notes And Impressions June 15, 2012 by Super User I banged out these notes while somewhere over Nebraska, heading back after a pretty quick tour through the InfoComm show floor. Ideally, two days is enough time, but I only had one free day to run around. Overall, floor traffic did not seem as heavy as past years, but who knows if my read is …
InfoComm12: DisplaySearch Conference Notes June 12, 2012 by Super User No WiFi, sigh, at the Display Search conference that runs as part of the lead-up to InfoComm here in the blast furnace that is Las Vegas in June.

CODACAN Media Summit Agenda Defies Logic May 11, 2012 by Super User The CODACAN digital media summit is next Thursday in Toronto, and I have been weighing whether I have the time to tear downtown to sit in. The email I got this morning pretty much cemented the case for not bothering. Fully half of the three-hour event designed to raise mindshare and understanding of the medium …
A Good, Full Day At Canada 3.0 April 25, 2012 by Super User A conference focused on digital innovation and issues in Canada sounded pretty intriguing when I first heard about Canada 3.0. Then I saw it was in a hockey arena complex in a town of 31,000 a good two hours outside of Toronto. Huh? Turns out it works. I spent the day at the 2012 Canada …
