Digital Signage Digest 21: The Death of Digital Signage Expo

 

Look On My Screens, Ye Mighty And Despair

Digital Signage Expo started out in 2003 as a fully immersive experience to explore the facets of digital and interactive display technology. It was a comprehensive event solely dedicated to digital signage solutions. In February of 2020 DSE was scheduled for a physical show March 31st to April 4th in Las Vegas, even in the wake of a global pandemic. However, it was suddenly postponed to September 15-18, still promising it would be an in-person event. It was not until Mid-September Exponation announced their filing for bankruptcy protection, and the show was ultimately cancelled.

So, what happened? Was this just a string of bad luck due to COVID-19 or was this just something that was eventually bound to happen? Here to discuss the rise and fall of DSE is The Smooth Factor AV professional Alesia Hendley, Editor in Chief of Daily DOOH Adrian Cotterill, Founder of OpenEye Global Bryan Meszaros and Managing Director for Service & Support Tom Milner. We look at the factors leading up to this, and what this means for the digital signage space moving forward.

OEG Podcasts 2020: A look back

The changing narrative of 2020 told through a series of podcasts

We enjoy sharing our thoughts and discussing various design trends with our industry colleagues. It is essential to have these conversations to help curate new ideas and spur innovation. Throughout 2020 the conversation continued to shift organically, and we played with different formats to adjust for the tone of voice during critical moments.

The changes in our climate impacted our conversations. However, we remained centered by focusing on the impact of carefully designed experiences. We invite you to listen to a selection of Podcasts from this year, when stitched together, provide a robust design narrative during a challenging period.

We also invite you to check out our limited-run series called “The Morning Spin” which we hosted live during the summer on Instagram. It is a new format we experimented with and will be bringing back in 2021. Much like our podcast, it follows a changing narrative and focuses on several key industry topics.

Follow us for new episodes of the Experience By Design Podcast (Apple Podcasts / Spotify) premiering every other Wednesday throughout the year.

Thank you for listening to us this year!
