From INewsWire comes a preview of the newest, most cutting-edge technology for digital signage and all 
kinds of interactive technologies! The Digital Signage Expo will be in Las Vegas at the Convention Center, from February 24-26. If you want to attend, or wish to exhibit, please contact Chris Gibbs at 770-649-0300 ext. 17, or visit the Digital Signage website, where you will find even more information!
Here is a partial list of what you can expect to see in the way of new digital signage/interactive technology at this year’s Digital Signage Expo:
• BroadSign’s Creator, a web-based content creation tool that allows simple and intuitive template-based dynamic messaging.
• Adder Corporation’s new Adderlink X50 Extender allows greater user flexibility among others: a system administrator who works on a PC that is located in a secure or isolated area at the site, or the ability to make presentations in a room where it is not feasible to have a computer.
• AdFlow Networks’ Media Player Engine, an interactive selling tool that encourages impulse buying, may be updated in real-time, is easy to use and requires no IT resources or large up-front investment.
• Allure Global’s DigiBox allows display of fully animated digital movie posters with movie times and ratings in full color.
• DT Research’s DS1700, 17-inch all-in-one-signage system which provides an integrated computing display in one slim, mountable package, ideal for digital signage and kiosk applications.
• NEC’s new MultiSync 15 Series with new mechanical design, comprehensive output panels and robust functionality.
• Omnivex’s Moxie offers digital signage design and management tools, through a browser interface.
• Samsung’s Matrix Interlocking Display 2 allows sturdy, stable video walls up to four displays high, by an unlimited number of displays wide.
• Thomson’s PRN’s new interactive product Display TV merchandising solution.
• Tightrope Media Systems’ new Carousel 5.2.0 offers Carousel Touch, allowing interactive bulletins through touch screen panels.
According to the President of ExpoNation, LLC, and producer of Digital Signage Expo Chris Gibbs: “The Digital Signage, Interactive Technologies and Out-of-Home Network Industry is still growing. As of this date, we have a record high number of exhibitors and more registered attendees for 2009 than we had for the 2008 show. Those statistics suggest that organizations are focused on the significant benefits and opportunities that our industry’s technology and solutions offer.”
The Expo will feature, among many other things, a full day conference called “Revolutionizing Interactive Marketing in Public Spaces with Mobile and Gestural Digital Signage.”
The International Pavilion will host exhibitors from around the world, and the New Product Pavilion will showcase what’s brand new in the world of digital signage! And there’s more, much MUCH more!
