Immersive Labs Helps Drive Pepsi’s SXSW Zeitgeist March 23, 2012 by Super User New York-based Immersive Labs is back from what sounds like a very cool few days working with PepsiCo at the massive SXSW interactive conference in Austin, Texas, which I am thinking I need to start attending. The startup – which does a face pattern detection-ad serving and analytics mash-up for digital OOH – was invited …
DSE Doing Another Speed-Dating Weekend March 19, 2012 by Super User The Digital Signage Expo people have sent out a note rounding up sponsors for a DSE Spring Industry Forum, to be held May 20-23 in Ft. Lauderdale. This event could, therefore, be held in Bill Gerba’s backyard, though I am not sure all the crime scene tape is gone yet. The event – I was …
CETW: Why I’m Not Going, And Reasons To Go March 19, 2012 by Super User A few people have sent me notes recently asking if I was going to CETW and could we meet up? Unfortunately, I’m not. And I think that’s the case for a lot of people in the pure-play (if there is such a thing) digital signage sector. I like the show and think the JD Events …
188 Feet of Preset Group Logo March 12, 2012 by Super User I usually do everything in my power to get the hell out of the way when cameras get pointed at me, given how much the camera lens doesn’t love me.

Digital Signage Expo 2013 is “co-located with the Interactive Technology Expo and Digital Content Show” – which are show within show things on …
DSE2012 Preset Group Mixer Photo Gallery March 10, 2012 by Super User We made the wise decision of assigning someone the task of walking around and taking snappies of the mob at the 2012 DSE Preset Group Mixer at the Golden Nugget.
DSE2012: Impressions From The Floor (Day 1) March 8, 2012 by Super User Up really, really early (time zones, jet lag, etc). I had a client along, and another, different one today, so that limited my free time, but I did get a pretty good look around. Things that struck my admittedly jaded head: Most display and software guys are ignoring, oblivious to or can’t build/support interactive screens …
Preset Mixer: 280 Industry Friends March 7, 2012 by Super User 1 am and just through the door. Long but good day. We figure about 280 people at the mixer … 250 official and another 30 or so who just turned up. Connectivity bedeviled us for a while. The wind storm made several people late and kept others from even getting to Vegas. We ran around …
Guest Post: With ISE Behind Us, Looking Ahead To DSE March 3, 2012 by Bas Smeets [dropcap]W[/dropcap]e could argue the case that Integrated Systems Europe has grown to such a degree that it is now THE must-attend for people in the digital signage industry, but as many or more people will argued the singularly-focused Digital Signage Expo next week in Las Vegas is the primary event.
