Preset Group DSE Mixer 2014

The Preset Group is celebrating its 5th annual networking party/mixer on Feb. 11th, the night before the trade show floor opens at the 2014 Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas.

The event is now firmly part of the DSE week experience, and the tickets always disappear in a matter of hours.

This year, we're doing drinks and chatter for 300 at the Revolution Lounge in The Mirage casino and resort. The Mirage is across the street from the Venetian/Palazzo, and an easy walk from the Sands Expo, where DSE is located this year.

We were hoping to return to last year’s great venue, but they TRIPLED the fee on us. So we said, “Buh-bye” to the Hard Rock Cafe. We've selected a very worthy alternative - a very cool lounge based around the Beatles-themed Cirque du Soleil show playing at the resort.

The evening is about catching up with industry friends and making some new ones. If you are new to the business, you'll never be in a room with more senior people than here, so bring your cards. But remember, there's plenty of business to be done in the days that follow, so come and just have a good time.

We start at 5:30 - right after the DSE pre-show conferences - so people can get a happy hour cocktail and relax. We wind down at 8:30, but you'll be able to easily slide outside into the Mirage casino floor and its many lounges and eateries. There's a small lounge just outside that's always open.

The evening is arranged and hosted once again by The Preset Group. Dave Haynes and Pat Hellberg are digital signage management consultants who have been around the sector for almost as long as the sector has been around, and have worked with companies across North America and globally.

This entirely free evening wouldn't happen without sponsors. They help pay the bar and food tab. This year we have seven terrific sponsors, most of them happy repeat sponsors.
