LG Showing Rollable and Two-Sided OLED Displays At CES January 4, 2016 by Dave Haynes CES is not in my trade show plans this or most years. The show this week is way too big and busy for my tastes – and the great majority of what’s going to be shown and hyped there isn’t all that relevant to signage. There will be display tech and micro PCs, but there will …
Projects: Digital Drives Happier Holiday Travel At Toronto’s Pearson Airport December 28, 2015 by Dave Haynes Traveling through airports during the Christmas holiday period can suck the joy out of just about anyone – between line-ups, delays, many more rookie travellers than normal and general mayhem.

Impressions From SEGD Xlab November 12, 2015 by Dave Haynes A few people have asked me directly or by email what I thought of Xlab this year, which made me realize I didn’t really write about the event that ran a week ago in New York.

Heading To Dubai November 9, 2015 by Dave Haynes I’m speaking at a Customer Engagement Technology Conference in a couple of weeks in Dubai. It’s one of those places I’ve wanted to see, and also a place that I gather has a lot shaking in the digital signage sector. My talk is Nov. 25th at the event, which I don’t think has any ties to …
Ad:Tech Lightning Tour November 9, 2015 by Dave Haynes I had about three hours last week to zip up and down the aisles of Ad:Tech New York, and three hours was plenty if you are not in the online ad business.

I’d tend to think of these kick-off sessions as welcomes and walk-throughs of what to expect, and not a bunch …
Impressions From Four Winds’ Forward Event October 23, 2015 by Dave Haynes Sitting at Denver’s airport, lamenting how I managed to book a flight with a time window that pretty much mirrors the time window for tonight’s Blue Jays-Royals game.
