#DOOHBrands Day Two At The Wrong Conference

Friday, April 27th, 2012

Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

Well, the Strategy Institute’s Digital Brand Activation: A Place-Based Strategy conference has come to a close and, if I was to describe the happenings of the last two days I would simply say that I had attended a Mobile and Social conference, because digital out-of-home/digital place-based media had minimal to do with what was presented […]

Sticky: Can The #NECshowcase Get Any Better?

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

The problem that the organisers of yesterday’s #NECshowcase face (NEC Display Solutions and Simon Jacksons’ management team) is exactly how they can top the event next year! There were 1300 pre-registrations and we believe (though we have NOT been told officially) that there were likely 870 or so who turned up on a very wet […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Good news for #ScreenmediaExpo as it needs more display manufacturers in attendance is that Philips Public Signage in partnership with AOpen and NDS, will take Stand Number C33. The Stand, we are told, will also be home to a newly-refurbished Mobile Solutions Suite in which demonstrations of the solutions offered will take place. The range […]

AsomaTV Switches To BroadSign

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

AsomaTV, an operator of several digital signage networks in Spain, has deployed BroadSign’s Software-as-a-Service at all existing networked locations and will be using the platform for future installations from now on – swapping out poor old C-Nario YCD and Cisco in the process we believe. The migration from legacy software has involved 110 screens in […]

For the sixth year in a row, Amigo will be exhibiting at #ScreenmediaExpo and this year, for us, it is about creating content within context and using screens to their full advantage both from a technical and a creative perspective. We have taken a 6m x 3m stand (location F45) which allows us ample space […]

DNA Conference, Los Angeles Moved Again

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

First of all don’t be surprised if this event never happens as it has been moved once before already but news just in that the (supposed) inaugural USA One-Day seminar for the Digital Out-of-Home Interactive Entertainment sector will now take place 2nd and 3rd of October 2012. The official reason for the move of the […]

Bytes From #DOOHBrands Day One

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

The morning session of Day One of Digital Brand Activation: A Place-Based Strategy (who thinks up these long titles anyway?) in Toronto Wednesday left me rather conflicted as to whether attendees were getting the type of information they were expecting – a feeling that was corroborated by several persons with whom I spoke. Not that […]

#DOOHBrands VUKUNET Tag Team

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

John Sheehan and Greg Patrick both from NEC of course took to the stage here at #DOOHBrands in Toronto to discuss VUKUNET… I have to say what a handsome pair of men they are AND more importantly the afternoon sessions are really picking up – a lot of really useful information from both the NEC […]
