I was not going to be going this year as I’d need to travel on my grandson Beau’s birthday, but he’s now having his party a week later ‘cuz he wants, at the moment, to have it at an indoor soccer field and that was when it could get booked. He’ll be three, so what he wants is a perpetually moving target. I also need to be out in that region a couple of days before DSE, so it’s a quick hop bak to Vegas yet again.
While I will now be at DSE, I am not doing a mixer. Bryan Meszaros is, but I bet it is already fully subscribed.
People have asked me regularly if they should go to DSE, and I have said a couple of things:
- The exhibit hall will be very small – shockingly so if it has been a few years since last attending DSE. I think there will be south of 50 exhibitors and some of those are just tabletops. The old pre-COVID DSE was 200 or stands. So if your mission is to see the latest technologies, there will certainly be some – but ISE a few weeks later in Barcelona will have many multiples more. Las Vegas is no longer a cheap trip (unless you aren’t at all picky where you stay, just eat at In-N-Out and do all your day-drinking at the TSI Touch stand), so there are arguments to be made that Barcelona does not require a big budget jump over DSE.
- However, as noted many times, the digital signage community wants and needs an annual gathering to network, tick off an efficient list of customer and partner touches over a couple of days, and get in some good education sessions that are not just veiled sales pitches and chest-beating exercises. We’ve all suffered through shows where the conference agenda has solid – not even dotted – line connections to booth size and event sponsorship. DSE doesn’t seem to do that. DSE is the one North American event each year where the clan, so to speak, gathers and hangs out. That can be hard for a CFO to wrap her or his head around as a business travel request, but it is valid.
I did a screen grab of the floor plan, including a slice of the live events show LDI that DSE is co-located with, as Questex also owns and runs LDI. I circled some of the stands on the other side that would be relevant to the digital signage crowd – notably the display companies Sony, Absen and Planar. The video processing software company Brompton is also over there. It’s nerdy, but people who do big, premium video walls use that sort of tech to optimize on-screen visuals.
Thanks, Dave. I look forward to seeing you. Here’s a list of the digital signage companies you can see at DSE and LDI: https://www.digitalsignageexperience.com/digitalsignageexperien/dse-2024-exhibitors
