Welcome to this edition of rAVe DS — this is our last issue before next week’s mega-AV show known as InfoComm. Although DSE is the industry’s only dedicated digital signage show, believe it or not, there are actually MORE digital signage products at InfoComm than at DSE!

We’re excited to be covering InfoComm with DSF board member Laura David-Taylor (LDT) of HighStreet Collective. In case you missed in our last issue, here’s that story again but, Laura will be co-branded with rAVe and the Digital Signage Federation at InfoComm and exclusively be on the lookout for innovative, unique and truly (potentially game changing) products launched in to the signage space. In fact, we already have a heads-up on one such product being launched by LG next week. It’s a total surprise and NO ONE in the U.S. knows about this product (except rAVe) and it will be a stunner! But, if you have (or know of) a signage product that LDT should cover while she’s in Orlando, let us know — simply email jordan@THErAVeAgency.com and she’ll make sure Laura stops by and checks it out! If you want to watch all her coverage (the videos Laura shoots while at InfoComm), simply go here and type “Laura Davis” in the SEARCH on the top-left.

Finally, I do want to remind you that, next week, we will be covering two shows at once — UB Tech and InfoComm. Both have dedicated microsite where we will post all our videos, blogs, news stories and podcasts from the shows., UB Tech’s is here and InfoComm’s is here.

If you’re at InfoComm next week, stop by our booth (in the lobby) and grab a free t-shirt — or take a pic with our cool Instagram mural and you could win an electric scooter — we’re giving one away every day!

+ Don’t Bring Me Gadgets… Bring Me Data! [Christopher Gillespie]

In the grand pantheon of issues that end users have to solve, there are the widget-focused issues of getting images on screens, and sound where we want it and all that goes along with that. However when looking at my list of problems to be solved, I have two words that always come up: data and metrics. Should you, the integrator, bring me something that gives me data, data that I can’t get from other sources, and it allows me to build metrics that I have never before been able to build… now we're talking. And if that widget that did some cool thing… in six months there will be a better widget and so we may switch. But if the thing you brought me is a data source, and I build applications and API integrations out of it, then guess what? That is one seriously sticky product!
