Mixing It Up Over Digital Signage
After attending the MediaPost Digital Out of Home awards in New York (where we won the best point-of-sale award) I was invited to attend my first Toronto Digital Signage Industry mixer. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but have to admit I was pleasantly surprised and had a great time.

meshU, April 6
I'm doing a presentation on Evidence-based IA and Design in a couple of weeks at this year's meshU event. I attended last year as a non-participant and got a lot out of it.
Twitter Business
