1. Bought a Vera Bradley purse for half off at a nearby store. While not the most important part of the day, was still a fun "after the conference" purchase.
2. PolyCom - The ceiling mic array is recommended for a 20' diameter. Might want to consider a second mic array in Allen 255.
3. Wolfvision - The eye 12 was sweet! There are diagrams on the Wolfvision web site that provides information regarding halogen light placement that will optimize the image - if a light is needed.
4. Samsung LCD Display - I love, love, love the "thin bezel" display. The monitor doesn't look like a tv that's been stuck on the wall. The thin bezel looks like digital signage - elegent, refined, gets your attention.
5. Digital Signage stand - can't remember the company name, but the stands were way cool, free standing and budget friendly.
6. Outdoor Digital Signage - looked at several LED solutions which are optimal for outdoor solutions, but all of them had their own control systems and could not integrate with MSU's digital signage software. Vendors I talked to were Element Labs and Everbrighten.
7. Rescue Tape - just a cool product. Made of silicone and adheres to itself when stretched. After 60 seconds, you can't undo. Fun product -
8. Outdoor Reflective Digital Display - Magink; this was extremely way cool. This product actually is best used in full sunlight. It's very "green" and overall just neat. It's about $1,500 per square feet.
9. Outdoor LCD Turnkey Solution - SunBriteTV. This turnkey solution is intriguing and costs start at $2,000 for a 32" monitor and $5,000 for a 42" monitor. The only downfall of LCD is that direct sunlight will make "black spots" on any LCD monitor. Once the direct sunlight leaves, the spots will fade. Therefore, some installations place a shade on top of the monitor. Yet, still a cool solution because of the housing.
10. Screen/White Board in one - WallTalkers. I have forgotten about this product and may need to consider using it for some installations at MSU. The sales guy was prejudiced against southern states - which I didn't appreciate at all, but put up with (in retrospect, I should have asked for a different sales guy, but southern ladies always try to be nice to others). They also sell another product, TacWall. This product serves as a "corkboard" and is "green" and comes in a variety of colors.
11. Take a look at the photo below - see something familiar? I believe the company was an audio company.
12. I must see what a monitor like this would cost for my desk.
