Is it possible to make hunger history?
Gorta, Ireland’s oldest charity, last week marked the launch of their online video initiative, makehungerhistory.org, which aims to collect opinions and feedback from members of the public on the issue of global hunger. With one in seven people worldwide now going hungry, this initiative aimsto help inform and mobilise the public in the fight against hunger and poverty.
Minister for Community, Rural & Gaeltacht affairs, Eamon O’Cuiv, joined Gorta CEO, Brian Hanratty, at the Dublin Docklands to launch the site, just days before the National Famine Commemoration Day took place in Skibbereen to commemorate victims of the Great Irish Famine.
Many issues were discussed at the 2009 INTO Annual Congress last Tuesday in Letterkenny, including the issue of renting pre-fabs for school buildings and the possibility of a day of action in the next few months. There was no love lost between delegates and the Minister for Education, Batt O’Keeffe, and an estimated 30 delegates walked out of the congress to show their distaste for recent cuts in the education sector. Above is an image of the stand we produced for this ‘eventful’ event.
Our Testimonial page on the website is now full to capacity, so I’m going to add the latest batch here…

Earlier this month the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions held their ‘Living and Working in Europe Event‘ at the European Parliament. Applied Signs & Display’s involvement was to produce and set up various portable displays at the parliament buildings in Brussels.
Topics covered at the event included migration, flexicurity, active aging and working time.
This was an impressive job which used the space and light of the building well, and by all accounts it was fun to set up too (especially for the alpinists who hung the hanging signs!).
Just got some great images through of the Peugeot 4007 in action at Top Gear Live, graphics by Applied Signs & Display! Let me know what you think…
Our work has once again appeared in TV3’s The Apprentice, and God were we proud! Our Swift Banner Stand produced for Temple Street Children’s Hospital was placed beside finalist Nicky as she made her introductory speech. It didn’t help her to win the series but Nicky’s team raised €18000+ for the hospital during the charity auction, and we like to think that the curl-resistant, ultra-matte finish Swift Banner didn’t hurt!
We can also be seen on your screens at the moment, on the ad for Jason Byrne’s new DVD, The Byrne Identity. We produced the colourful backdrop stand – its amzing how versatile and imposing a simple flat pop up stand can be.
This week we have designed and produced a backdrop Pop Up Display for Concern’s Fighting Hunger Conference which takes place on Thursday. This event will feature contributions from Mary Robinson, Jeffrey Sachs, director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University in New York, as well as Kofi Annan in his capcity as Chairperson if the The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa.

among others, we are in the perfect position to give you a preview of the upcoming Plan Expo ‘08 event in the RDS. This show, taking place from the 4th to the 6th November, is in its 26th year, and is a perennially popular fixture in the construction industry’s calendar. This year it will feature the Irish Home Builders Association Business Seminar and the EcoBuild sub-show, focusing on sustainable energy.
The trend in Display Stands at Plan Expo has, for many years now, been 
towards stands with considerable height, and stands with attractive, robust aluminium elements. Longer extrusions can be used to to ensure that your display is seen above the masses of people and traditional displays, and custom finials can be used to make sure that your corporate colours or logo is clearly on display.
Another display element growing in popularity is plasma screens and moving or revolving elements which grab the eye. Using modular displays these items can easily be incorporated into even the smallest display, and the beauty is that these stands are fully modular and reconfigurable so if your next exhibtion space is larger, smaller or a different shape your stand can be adapted to suit. This display hardware is available to buy and hire so there is no need to sacrifice impact for budgetary reasons.
If you have any questions about exhibiting at Plan Expo ‘08 don’t hesitate to contact us by phone or email.
Full report to follow shortly, but here are a few photos from the event. You can see our new Nomadic Display showroom stand in the background, replete with full bar area with canopy and seating. Thanks to all who came along and made the day so enjoyable…
