Not much to be honest, except that they will all be at this year's Digital Non-Conference in Cincinnati at the end of September.
The announcement just came out this morning that the Founder of Pandora, Tim Westergreen, will be speaking at the event, along with America Ferrera from Ugly Betty. To be honest, I'm not sure what Ugly Betty has to do with it all but I'm confident we'll find out.
I attended last year's event and came away super impressed. Breakout sessions where held throughout downtown Cincinnati and "forced" attendees despite the rain to get out and explore the city. I had the fortunate experience of getting to meet John Battelle, one of the co-founders of Wired, and sit with him at his table before his keynote presentation.
One of the breakouts I attended last year focused on digital signage, which was great to have but I was a bit disappointed in the direction it went. That's why I'm pleased this year to be one of the panelists. The session is being led by Tim Burke (Electronic Art) and I will be joined by Bill Collins (Decision Point Media) and Christopher Hall (Digital Signage Today).
Last year's discussion centered around digital signage as a dynamic advertising tool, which it most definitely is. But there is so much more that the technology can do and I hope the panel heads in that direction with the conversation and presentations. I'll make sure we bring up corporate communication networks.
During last year's panel, Bill made a comparison of digital signage networks to ice cream (hence the picture) that I completely disagreed with. So I plan on having some fun with that this year. Can anyone say PROPS?!
If you're interested in attending, you can register today. It's a great event and not very expensive at all.
