SXSW Tech Director To Do Keynote At CETW June 19, 2013 by Dave Haynes I like it when the keynote guys at conferences have absolutely zippo to do with a vendor and get mike time for no other reason than what they have to say is interesting. That would be the case at CETW this fall, as opening keynote on Nov. 6 is Scott Wilcox, the Director of Technology …
Reminder: DSF Mixer Next Wednesday In Toronto June 17, 2013 by Dave Haynes A reminder that this event is on next week in my general vicinity of Toronto, put on by the Digital Signage Federation board and some sponsors like NEC and Capital Networks. It is, amusingly, billed as a two-hour mixer (clearly, the DSF people haven’t tipped beers with Canadians, who will work towards closing the …

InfoComm Impressions: Day 2 June 15, 2013 by Dave Haynes ORLANDO – So my grand plans of spending most of the day poking around the Infocomm trade show hall got derailed by meetings and conversations that just kept happening on day 2, but I did manage to get a bit of a walk around the floor and develop some thoughts. 1 – We’re now at …

Crowds look pretty good to my untrained eyes, though there are always guys at the backs of halls idly chatting and reading emails. I ended up in …

InfoComm’s Digital Signage Footprint Not Exactly Heavy In 2013 June 2, 2013 by Dave Haynes I tend to book my way to InfoComm as a matter of routine, without really looking at what’s on and who is there.

NAB Lightning Impressions April 10, 2013 by Dave Haynes OK, back at the live bait shop after two trade shows and a vendor summit in Las Vegas – a place that is a lot more fun on a slow DSE week than a packed NAB week.
