Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Clever bit of marketing from Magenta Research on their stand… The picture says and explains all… And what was it with RAI Live on the booth next to us in Hall 10? What exactly were they doing? Who was manning it? Why was just anyone just sitting at the tables? Whatever they were trying to […]

Hall 12 was once again the main digital signage area of ISE and was heavily traffic’ed via a main thoroughfare between halls. C-nario, Scala and DISE had the three main spots along this thoroughfare. C-nario stationed their CTO Avishay at the front of the stand on the right hand side (as you looked at the […]

Russ Curry, Ministry of New Media

Amidst the dazzling walls of LED screens that dominate the halls of the ISE it was quite a pleasant surprise to find a stand selling paint… And not just paint – but a whole range of products from undercoat, middle coat, final coat and special cleaning fluids. But this is not just any old range […]

Chris Sheldrake

We keep tweaking Stand 10N118 (the Blogger Lounge in Hall 10) as we learn about what works and is comfortable and what does not. Here’s Tuesday’s layout… We moved all of the comfortable chairs to the right hand side (as shown here) to create a (sort-of) screened off private area. Yesterday we had 4 or […]

Seen in Amsterdam yesterday; Don Sperring, Eric Penot (who easily gave the best presentation at #DOOHBizConf), Mike Fabian, Tom Nix, Brad Gleeson. Also walking the floor (would these folks ever fork out for an exhibition stand he asks rhetorically?) and doing the rounds Moti Gura from Trumedia. Nice to see the Neo Media Group and […]
