gdgt

gdgt live is the only tech event series in the country created to give consumers who are passionate about technology an opportunity to meet face-to-face with today’s top tech brands and hottest startups. On August 16th, the show returns to Seattle’s Showbox SoDo for the 3rd year in a row. gdgt live is FREE to attend and open to all ages, but if you’re 12 or under, you will need to be accompanied by an adult.

The show opens to the public at 7:00pm following a one-hour press-only preview and ends at 10:00pm. To RSVP go to http://events.gdgt.com/gdgt-live-returns-to-seattle-august-16th/. You will also find a list of participating companies there. This year the folks at gdgt are also giving away one sponsorship worth $3500 to a local Seattle-area startup. Details on how to enter are on the site. The deadline to enter is July 31st.

At each gdgt live event, you’ll find a fantastic mix of industry leaders and local startups ready to show off their newest gadgets and services and gather feedback from the folks who matter most – real consumers. The first few hundred attendees will have their choice between a free gdgt T-shirt or gdgt-branded iPhone case when they enter so get there early.

There will also be plenty of giveaways at individual sponsors’ tables and lots of chances to win some amazing gear. Attendees who are over 21 are invited to have a drink on the house and nonalcoholic beverages are free all night long. For pictures and videos of past Seattle gdgt live events visit the gdgt live YouTube Channel  and Flickr page.

gdgt live is the brainchild of the folks from gdgt.com, the new technology site created by Gizmodo co-founder and Engadget founder Peter Rojas and former Engadget editor-in-chief Ryan Block. gdgt.com is a one-stop shop for everything consumers need to make smart technology purchase decisions, combining reviews from real consumers with the top editorial reviews from around the Web and providing a passionate community to answer all your gadget-related questions.
