A NEW DIMENSION IN INTELLIGENT SPACE

The need to be both innovative and economical in exhibits has become the order of the day. Wholesale redesigns, new installations and new media are having a hard time finding their way into many museum and corporate exhibition design projects.
Here is an idea for you - [i]cell system technology. Our subsidiary DC CONNECT will introduce this award-winning and low-overhead human-scale interactivity technology solution for exhibit environments in April at the annual American Association of Museum (AAM) and American Children’s Museum (ACM). It is the perfect way to bring new life to an installation, add interactivity to traditional media, and provide flexibility in content - fully managable by the end user. And if you thought you might defer a new interactive for your program - this solution is a great alternative to more complex touch screen interfaces or programming heavy kiosks.

The system is available in easy to install [i]kits for everything from a simple media controller to a fully engaged display wall - at suprisingly modest cost. And it is easy to update -even repurpose entirely - with little effort.

Learn more here and come see us at the shows in Philly.

EXHIBITOR 2009

We are back from the show and despite early concerns about the shape of the economy, we had one of the best events ever. Why? - the people who showed up were serious about their businesses.
  • Industry service providers were serious about driving new opportunities.
  • Event planners were intent on finding ways to get more out of there spend - not always lower prices- but better results.
  • CTSM program attendees seeemed to participate at a higher level than in the past.
  • Some of the splash and festivities were less prevelant, but replaced by a seriousness of purpose.

We would like to see the show grow as it has before and hope to see the trend to the serious participant continue to grow along with it.

One of the more successful aspects of the event were the round table discussions. These forums were great outlets for issues and ideas alike. DESIGNCONTACT lead three of these roundtables - and they were among the best experiences we had at the show.

The 3D BRAINSTORMING: Build a Better Booth Design seminar we conducted was also a highlight for us - and we believe for our guests. Look for an update on both of these events in our next posting!
