rAVe Experiential Signage Edition

Hi #AVtweeps! I hope you’re all doing well. This week came quick! Our team immediately jumped into pre-ISE prep, and that probably won’t stop until we get to the show. And probably not even then.

We’re looking to the future in this newsletter, with our column from AdOmni’s Jonathan Gudai all about why 2026 belongs to DOOH and video. Give it a read, and let us know if you agree. Will AI level the playing field and assist with media planning? Will the future of advertising take context into account? Check it out here.

Plus, we have some interesting news for you — partnerships between Amino and Xibo and NDI and Thinlabs, Dave Labuskes announces his retirement and more.

Happy reading!
