Digital Life 2008 postponed (aka cancelled)
Posted on 21 August 2008, at 4:50 pm, by Wayne Schulz
Damn! Just when I was getting excited to head into New York City to hang out with my cheerleader friends from last year - I’ve learned that Digital Life 2008 is cancelled postponed. Originally scheduled for September 25 through the 28th at the Javits Center, DigitalLife was supposed to be a mini version of CES. When I attended last year I came away confused about it’s target market (virtually no major vendors were present) and learned nothing of interest other than observing during my walk from Grand Central Terminal that New York City hot dog vendors store their carts about two blocks from Javits. My guess is that you can stick a fork in this show - it’s done.

Glad I didn’t book a flight.

Went to the Exhibitors list… It’s empty. Yeah, that’ll kill a show pretty quick….

It’s dead, Jim! (I’m a doctor, not a trade show manager..!)

Hi Judie - love your site! Just wanted to comment on the pic. Is that Courtney Galiano from So You Think You Can Dance?

Not sure, but maybe! Here’s her audition tape, you tell me:

Hmm - I think it is her. When I looked at her bio online she was a Knicks dancer — and I’m pretty sure that DigitalLife wouldn’t have let people in dressed in Knick’s dancer uniforms unless they were the real thing.
Nice catch.
PS - The photo is from last year at Digital Life. She was working a digital imaging booth where you could have your picture taken and then printed out on one of the printers. I made the guy use my Blackberry Curve to take this photo and when I got home I uploaded it for the original Digital Life story.

Yep! Excellent catch!
