Nix as well as Scala's vice president of marketing, Harry Horn, will be available throughout the show for interviews or personal demonstrations of the Scala solutions in our partner booths which include:  

• Sharp (Booth 1223) – With our Connected Café solution, customers take a selfie when sending in an order for gourmet coffee on a self-service tablet. When the coffee is ready, their own picture appears on the Sharp video wall, featuring an ultra slim bezel for seamless display. Also demonstrated is Scala's real-time insight reporting, allowing for screen content optimization including pricing and promotions.
• LG Electronics (Booth 1210) – In the Lift & Learn solution, customers are enticed to lift the latest in mobile phone technology from a high-end fixture, integrated with anti-theft technology. LED display screens as well as the screens on the phones are triggered to dynamically update, showing extensive details on the product. When a second item is lifted, the display updates again to help the customer compare.
• Google (Booth 2131) – Scala SVP/GM Dan McAllister will present "Tipping the Scalability: Using Actionable Data for Optimized Digital Experiences" on Wednesday, March 16 at 2:30 p.m. The presentation includes how digital solutions from Scala can apply real-time data to measure what resonates with audiences and take action to optimize the content.

• Crimson AV (Booth 2526) – Our platform drives a three-by-one digital menu board display featuring Crimson's sleek and sturdy mounts that are easy to install and can be used for landscape or portrait display.
• Actineon (Booth 627) – In another example of the Lift & Learn, shoppers lift an item from the shelf and the display screens, powered by Actineon small form factor computers, automatically update to show detailed information on the product, compression socks from high-end athletic apparel retailer 2XU. When a second item is lifted, the display updates again to help the customer comparison shop. The fixtures and screen content are fully customizable to fit any product where the customer is comparing features.
