Pix from LA’s DSE Huddle November 2, 2011 by Super User So, three time zones is probably a little too far to travel for an industry mixer, but geez, they were pouring pints of Shock Top! And there were wings! Ah well, I missed it by about 2,500 miles, but it looks like the Digital Signage Expo’s DSE Huddle mixer in LA went off well a …
Industry seminar and AM mixer set for mid-month in Toronto November 1, 2011 by Super User Taking the pint glass half-full perspective, I suppose it is good that I am so freakin’ busy that organizing a Toronto industry mixer remains stuck on the To Do list. It will get arranged at some point, I guess, though “When?” is a reasonable question. Any volunteers? It’s good then, that someone is getting the …
Minority Report’s visionary doing DSE 2012 keynote October 31, 2011 by Super User [vimeo id=”2229299″ width=”600″ height=”350″] Minority Report references in stories about digital signage tend to set my eyes rolling, but a guy named John Underkoffler gets a pass – since he’s the fellow who came up with the gesture-based user interface in that 2002 Spielberg sci-fi movie. Most of the oh-so-tiresome Minority Report references we hear and …

If you have 6,000 stores, then actually, No, you don’t need to … October 24, 2011 by Super User The Digital Signage Expo folks have circulated an email blast that says registration is now open for the annual trade show and networking-fest in Lost Wages. The show is March 6-9 in 2012, a week later than what’s been typical the last few years. The email has the curious header from Bob Stowe of Wendy’s, …
Danaher at DPAA Summit: The medium needs to be defined October 21, 2011 by Super User In Sue Danaher’s opening address Wednesday at the Digital Place-based Advertising Association media summit, she related how her first year on the job involved a lot of time invested in meeting with agencies and brands to listen to their perceptions of the emerging medium. It grew really evident, she says, that the medium needed to …
DPAA Media Summit Wraps Up October 20, 2011 by Super User Between zero free time and an iPad app for WordPress that has its limits, I can’t pass on much about the DPAA media summit in NYC today, other than it was very well run, very well attended and definitely worth the effort to get there. I took lotsa notes and hope to get copies of …

DPAA Media Summit agenda firmed up September 29, 2011 by Super User The agenda is now pretty much together for the Digital Place-based Advertising Association’s media summit coming up next month in New York. I like the looks of this event because precious little microphone time is allocated to sponsors. That means the risks of some VP Sales or Chief Something Officer going rogue and pitching his …
