In order to share upcoming industry insights and facilitate networking opportunities, many industries hold variously themed trade shows throughout the year. As the need for cash solutions spans many industries, Tidel attends several of these conferences to listen to the unique needs of each sector, catch up with several of our customers and partners, and maintain close proximity to the latest business trends.

Tidel is no stranger to exhibiting at trade shows, and the upcoming quarter is packed with conferences where Tidel will be on display.

At Tidel, our goal is to deliver best in class automated cash management solutions for the industries we serve. While prospects, clients, and partners can certainly find information about us online, trade shows allow us the opportunity to demonstrate our solutions and illustrate how they can positively impact our customer’s business in an open, face-to-face environment.

Q4 2018 is shaping up to be a busy trade show quarter for Tidel. Our plans include:

A Closer Look into the Conferences

The first event of the quarter is the annual conference for the Financial Service Centers of America (FiSCA) in Las Vegas. Representing in excess of 6,000 service centers across the country, FiSCA is comprised of small companies with a single store all the way to the large national brands with hundreds of locations – all focused on servicing the financial needs of the unbanked or underbanked U.S. consumer.

Immediately after the FiSCA conference is the National Association of Convenience Stores show, also held in Las Vegas. Since establishing our roots in the convenience store industry, Tidel has enjoyed a long-standing partnership with the NACS show. For this year’s event, we will be displaying our broad portfolio of solutions that help convenience stores of all sizes, from mom and pop locations to well-known national brands, become more efficient and secure in how they handle their cash.

The Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) conference in November brings together more than 6,000 treasury and finance professionals who are attending to the conference to increase their exposure to a wide range of financial topics, including innovative payment methods, the incorporation of blockchain technology, and of course, advancements in cash management solutions. At AFP, we’ll be demonstrating our broad solution portfolio to this audience, including smart safes and automated cash recyclers.

After AFP concludes, it’s back to Las Vegas for the Anti-Counterfeit and Currency Expo. At this event, cash management and security are at the forefront of the conversation as retailers, casinos, banks (both commercial and central), and government agencies collaborate to improve the safety of cash transactions.

Wrapping up our busy Q4 is the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions conference in Orlando, Florida. It is our first time exhibiting at IAAPA, and we look forward to meeting new partners and clients as we make further inroads into this vertical.

Tidel is proud to participate in these exciting industry events to demonstrate our innovative cash management solutions to clients, partners, and prospective customers. For us, it is an exceptional opportunity to understand the unique needs of each business sector in order to develop customized cash management solutions to meet the needs of our customers today, and in the future.

IBC2026 Previews Show Vendors Pitching Orchestration Platforms

IBC2026 Previews Show Vendors Pitching Orchestration Platforms

Pre-show coverage of IBC2026, held September 11-14 in Amsterdam, shows several vendors including Telestream, PlayBox Neo and Zixi framing announcements around workflow orchestration and hybrid transport reliability rather than single products. Separately, NewscastStudio reported EverPass expanded its Netflix-linked deal to distribute the full NFL slate to bars and restaurants.

  • 01Telestream, PlayBox Neo, and Zixi are leading with orchestration and resilience messaging ahead of IBC2026 in Amsterdam, September 11-14.
  • 02Verify orchestration and resilience claims through vendor documentation, reference calls, and hands-on evaluation before committing to platforms.
  • 03Request documented API boundaries, interoperability testing evidence, and failure detection demonstrations rather than relying on marketing descriptions.

Software updates are now a buying event at IBC2026

Software updates are now a buying event at IBC2026

At IBC2026 in Amsterdam, Clear-Com and TSL are sending a similar operational message from different angles: the next hard problems are control, monitoring, and safe change in IP workflows. Clear-Com’s Eclipse HX EHX v15 adds ARC (Access Resource Configuration), which the company says enables access to intercom ports and resources without adding hardware, and expands capacity and resource management, according to Sports Video Group. AVNation reports TSL is emphasizing “reduced complexity” for control and monitoring across IP workflows. For ops leaders, the takeaway is to treat qualification, rollback planning, change windows, and licensing and support terms as first-class spec items.

  • 01Clear-Com is attaching new intercom access and resource controls to Eclipse HX via EHX v15 and ARC, so refresh planning shifts from “replace frames” to qualify releases, plan rollbacks and schedule change windows, according to Sports Video Group.
  • 02For distributed productions, FreeSpeak Cell leans on LTE and 5G rather than venue cabling, shifting runbooks toward coverage assumptions, service management and fallbacks when cellular performance drops, according to Sports Video Group.
  • 03AVNation reports TSL is pushing “reduced complexity” for control and monitoring across IP workflows, a sign that configuration, visibility and alarm routing are becoming day-to-day requirements, not optional add-ons.

AV integrators are buying scale because meeting rooms now run like software

AV integrators are buying scale because meeting rooms now run like software

Forté’s acquisition of Vega Global, adding more than 750 employees across 17 APAC countries, is a prominent 2026 sign of consolidation in enterprise AV, according to AV Magazine. At InfoComm 2026, Cisco, Crestron and HP showed room platforms centered on ongoing management, with Cisco and NVIDIA introducing RoomOS 26 AI agents that run on in-room hardware and HP tying Poly Lens to its Workforce Experience Platform, as reported by AVIXA and HP. Separately, Cisco’s Webex AI roadmap adds “agentic” automation and governance that reaches beyond room systems into the contact center and workforce management, according to No Jitter. As a result, standards, telemetry, security and service-level performance are taking a larger role in how contracts are evaluated, influencing both vendor choice and integrator consolidation.

  • 01When services are 38% of channel revenue and hardware is 36%, the integrator RFP stops being about the bill of materials and starts being about uptime, monitoring and lifecycle outcomes, per AV Magazine citing AVIXA channel research.
  • 02“Edge AI in the room” shifts how outages and performance issues play out: RoomOS 26 adds on-device agents and features such as Audio Zones that can lessen reliance on cloud connectivity, but it also increases requirements for endpoint compute, device governance and disciplined update processes, according to AVIXA and rAVe [PUBS].
  • 03Consolidation is becoming a procurement feature: Forté’s move from a federation model to owned operations signals multinationals want one throat to choke for standards, security and service outcomes across regions, per AV Magazine.
