The Ministry of New Media (in conjunction with the DailyDOOH) will soon be hosting their second Thought Leadership Summit. The first one was in London this past May and the second one is next month in New York City. The theme this time will be ‘Billboards Unplugged‘ – I’ve been asked to participate again, so […]

Readers of the DailyDOOH probably don’t need any introduction to the wildly popular TED conferences where speakers present thought-provoking ideas on a wide range of topics related to technology, entertainment and design.
