It’s going to be the biggest gadge-show of the year, and it’s taking place at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. What is it? Gadget Show Live, of course!
IntoMobile is going to be attending what should be a festival of buttons, displays, and tech-funk, all housed in the massive warehouse-like space of the NEC. I’ve been to the NEC quite a few times, and I have to say it’s one of my fave venues for shows. As long as you manage your journey to miss the rush-hour traffic, it’s also very conveniently located in “The Midlands”.
But more about the show – it’s derived from a show on UK Terrestrial TV called, unsurprisingly perhaps, “The Gadget Show” – that’s somewhat of a long-standing show now, but the Live exhibition is a new phenomena. As to the attendees, apart from a shedload of people (all the tickets are sold out – for all three days!), there’s going to be a number of tech companies, all looking to promote their wares – you can see a lot more about it here.
I’ll be there in all my reportative glory, maybe I’ll see y’all there

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
