Picking back up on the data standard issueFebruary 26, 2010 | Link This | Email this | Comments (1) The Tradeshow industry has suffered through years of wasted technology and business processes based on poor data standards and supplier data standard requirements. The tasks of database management, data validation, data integration are all difficult, maybe even impossible, without best practices to define how data can be managed and exchanged.

Two thoughts on video capture and productionDecember 28, 2009 | Link This | Email this | Comments (0) ![]() There are two camps on video. One belief is the low cost, do it on your own with a flip camera and capture cool stuff as it happens on the show floor. The second attitude is that it pays to hire a professional.
