Back At HQ – Time For A Long List Of Thank Yous! February 12, 2024 by Super User Back at a snowy world HQ after two-plus weeks on the road, hacking my way through the seemingly inevitable ISE cold and dry cough (not COVID, tested!). Thank you notes are in order … Thanks to the Integrated Systems Europe people for putting on a massive show that was nonetheless well-run. The crowds were huge …
Digital Signage CMS Software Benchmarking So Far Suggesting They’re All Pretty Darn Similar February 9, 2024 by Super User Sixteen:Nine’s German content partners Invidis did a micro-conference last week during ISE and I finally had some spare time today to review notes about the session they did about the CMS software market. The company, which also does a lot of consulting, set aside time to talk about the findings so far from what they …
ISE Mixer Back For 2025: Here’s Some Pix From Last Week February 7, 2024 by Super User The venue used for the last couple of mixers has been secured for 2025, and we’re exploring ways to open up the numbers, so more people can attend. That would involve canopies on the outdoor plaza, and heaters. I’d like that as we turned a lot of people away, and outside is quieter. We keep …
ISE Digital Signage Review And Tech Talk Set For Thursday In Braga, Portugal February 5, 2024 by Super User I am in Portugal this week, recovering from ISE, dodging winter and getting set to talk at an event Thursday in Braga, a lovely city north of the equally lovely but VERY hilly Porto. My friends at Braga-based tech firm Edigma arranged for me to speak to the digital signage/pro AV community in the region …
ISE Hits All-Time Attendance Records February 5, 2024 by Super User Given that some ghastly amount of snow has smothered the place we call most of the year, I am particularly happy we are doing a working holiday in Portugal. It has been sunny since we got here and our rented flat is right on the ocean south of Porto. I am also happy I now …
ISE 2024 Impressions: Day Two – I’ve Got Almost Nothing January 31, 2024 by Super User Conference day for Dave. Heard great stuff. Learned things. Met some amazing people (looking at you, in particular, Nita). Was on the interview side of interviews, not asking. So I spent very little time on the floor. The net result. Precious little to report other than ISE was super-busy again. I had an interview commitment …
ISE 2024 Impressions: Some Curious Booth Bait January 30, 2024 by Super User I’ve no idea what it was like getting in to ISE 2024 in Barcelona on Day One because I didn’t get to the exhibition center until late morning. Late night and late next day movement. A combination of heightened awareness of how things were going to work, and opening some halls early, likely limited what …
Impressions And Lotsa Pix From Last Night’s Industry Mixer In Barcelona January 30, 2024 by Super User The 2024 digital signage industry mixer went off nicely last night in Barcelona – with a packed house and, finally, a tech-driven check-in process. Miguel Fonseca, the CEO of Displax and a founder of sister company Moviik, hand-carried a kiosk unit in a backpack from Braga, Portugal to Barcelona – so we didn’t repeat the …
Winners And High Commendations From Last Night’s Global Digital Signage Awards January 30, 2024 by Super User The winners and companies with entries that ALMOST won – getting High Commendations instead – were announced last night for the global Digital Signage Awards, at a dinner in Barcelona that directly followed the Sixteen:Nine digital signage mixer. The categories were reinvented and rewritten for this edition of the awards to boost their relevance and …
ISE 2024 Sixteen:Nine Mixer Sponsor Profile: Videri Launches “VIP” Zero-Touch Intelligent Provisioning For Digital Signage Screens January 30, 2024 by Super User Integrated Systems Europe is now on, and I have this post timed to run the day after the mixer that I am assuming went off in Barcelona just fine. The event had eight great sponsors, who helped cover the considerable costs of the evening, and one of them – Videri – wanted to hold their …
