CETW: Why I’m Not Going, And Reasons To Go March 19, 2012 by Dave Haynes 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 Dave Haynes 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. But this was too cool to pass up. Among the things we did for the big Preset Group mixer last week was get some time …
DSE 2013 Rolls Back To Usual End Of February Schedule March 12, 2012 by Dave Haynes It looks like the first week of March was a one-year thing for Digital Signage Expo. Next year’s event is scheduled for Feb. 26 to March 1 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. 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 Dave Haynes 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 Dave Haynes 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 Dave Haynes 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. DSE attendance is just a …
Preview of Mixer Videos by Arsenal Media March 2, 2012 by Dave Haynes Here is a screen grab of one of the promo videos that will be looping on screens at the Preset Mixer. Arsenal is doing them and predictably, they’re great. (Testing posting image and text from my phone and Android WordPress app. Not perfect, but not bad either.)
Three DSE Pre-Show Education Sessions To Consider March 1, 2012 by Dave Haynes Just a few more sleeps and one very early alarm setting before I head to Lost Wages for Digital Signage Expo. Admittedly, I have been so freaking busy getting the Preset Group Mixer sorted, and also trying to earn a living, that I have not paid a lot of attention to the education sessions that …
Mixer Name Badges At The Printer February 29, 2012 by Dave Haynes One of the big reasons we’ve been hounding people to register early and carefully for the mixer is because we are doing name badges for the first time at the mixer. I thought for a micro-second about those peel off and stick things, but they don’t actually stick. So … we went in a completely …
