Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

It was interesting to hear the number of speakers who referred back to Adrian Cotterill’s various comments following his keynote speech Wednesday morning at the International Scala Conference being held in Noordwijkerhout, near Amsterdam in The Netherlands. Cotterill, editor-in-chief of DailyDOOH, who we expected would concentrate his talk on the London Stock Exchange installation (which […]

Russ Curry, Ministry of New Media

The 5th Munich Digital Signage Conference 2011 got off to a cracking start with the keynote address from Invidis’ now familiar dynamic duo – Florian Rotberg & Oliver Schwede. Florian announced visitors from India, Korea and Canada, but the attendance was predominantly German, with more presentations in Goethe’s language than last year. Which is all […]

Are C-nario And YCD Set To Merge?

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

The software vendors that we speak to tell us that C-nario have all but disappeared from their ‘competitive horizon’. We haven’t seen or heard much from them this year either so doubt that the software vendors are exaggerating. When we spoke to C-nario’s new CEO Tamir Ginat back in February he was full of promise […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Oliver Schwede and Florian Rotberg did their usual excellent double act in opening the 5th OVAB Europe Conference here in Munich … These guys have ticked pretty much all the boxes from our post ‘What Makes The Perfect Conference‘ – note the huge twitter wall (a projector but it works really well), the interactive touch […]
