Survey Says!: Mixed Opinions On Need, Style, Locale Of A Focused Industry Event February 22, 2021 by Super User The digital signage ecosystem has a decidedly mixed opinion on whether or not a replacement event is needed for the now-defunct Digital Signage Expo, but there is a clear desire for some sort of event that allows industry people to gather in person. That’s what comes out of a Sixteen:Nine reader survey that gathered more …
Future DSE Survey: Early Results And Call For A Few More Responses February 19, 2021 by Super User I just need a few more responses to that survey pushed out earlier in the week, asking about whether the industry needs a standalone replacement for the DSE trade show, or if the big pro AV trade shows suffice.

Survey: Does The Digital Signage Industry Need Its Own Trade Show and Conference? February 16, 2021 by Super User Some recent conversations and several emails for virtual/online educational and product demo events have me thinking about DSE, and the debate about whether that now-defunct trade show and conference needs a replacement.

Pro Hockey Challenge Uses Fine Pitch LED Screen As The Target For Slapshots. It Survives. February 10, 2021 by Super User As a diehard Canadian, I am expected to be a rabid hockey fan – but the hard truth is I am barely aware of the NHL. I have somehow managed to retain my Canadian passport despite this. The last NHL season, and the league’s All-Star weekend, all happened, to be totally accurate, sometime in the …
Survey Requests Suggest ISE, InfoComm Weighing Go/No-Go Options On June Shows February 3, 2021 by Super User Both InfoComm and Integrated Systems Europe sent out surveys in the last couple of days asking previous attendees (I assume) about their attitudes towards trade shows and travel as the pandemic wears on.
