London Digital Signage Week [1] got off to a great start Monday night with an opening reception sponsored by Limited Space Media Group.

Held at Hix in Soho, it gave us a chance to meet old and new friends – and to pick up bits of news here and there.
While most of the guests were from the UK and Contental Europe, we met up with Daniel Parisien from BroadSign [3], Montreal, and Dave Etherington from Titan [4], New York.
Big congratulations must to go to Dave Etherington who has just been named executive vice-president and chief strategy officer, giving him a whole new set of responsibilities along with his old ones. Yes, he still heads marketing, too!
Etherngton was chatting with Paolo Guida, CFO, of Taggalo [5], Milan, and was seemingly quite impressed with Taggalo’s offering. We won’t be at all surprised if Titan decides to do a pilot project with the Italian firm in the near future.
We had a chance to talk with a varied mix including, (and this is just a sample): Paul Grundy of MOOH Group [6], Stuart Liddle of Visual technology [7], Dave Kelshaw of LivePoster [8], Roger Moss of Limited Space Media Group, Dieter Kemp of Benihana Japanese Steakhouse, Harry Horn of Scala [9] and dozens of others.
Many thanks to those who came along to get the week off to a great start, and the many others who have confirmed their presence at the various events taking place this week, we’re already predicting that London Digital Signage Week will be a great success.
