Event Details
gdgt live is the only tech event series designed to give real consumers a chance to try out the latest gear and meet face-to-face with the companies that make this stuff.
We’re thrilled to be back in Boston after a year away. As always, gdgt live is FREE to attend and open to all ages. However, if you’re 12 or under, you do need to be accompanied by an adult.
We’ll have gdgt T-shirts or gdgt-branded iPhone cases from Speck for the first few hundred folks, so get there early! There will also be thousands of dollars in amazing gear from our sponsors up for grabs in our various contests.
There will be drink tickets for the over-21 crowd and free soft drinks for everyone.
Congratulations to our startup contest winner Backupify! Make sure you stop by and visit them at the show.
eBay Electronics Lounge
Our friends from eBay Instant Sale are creating a super cool lounge at the Boston event. There will be lots of fun stuff to check out and extra drink tickets too, but you must bring an old gadget to trade-in to get exclusive access to the lounge. They’ll show you how to cash in your tech in 60 seconds or less with eBay Instant Sale.

Huawei   
Although Huawei (pronounced “”WAH-Way”") has been around since 1987, it wasn’t until 2007 that we launched our first mobile device in the USA and our timing could not have been better. Over the past several years, touch screen smart phones were gaining in popularity, but they came with a big price tag… until we launched the most affordable Android device, that is, and sold over one million of them! Huawei is all about innovation. As we continue to grow within the USA, Huawei will continue to develop mobile devices that create maximum value for our customers like MetroPCS, Cricket, T-Mobile, and AT&T. So keep an eye out for us.
