My inner tech geek was in 'tech-vana' at Engadget's #ExpandNY Conference in New York City. Like most conferences I can tell you there will be more detailed partnerships with the brands I met in upcoming posts, but I wanted to share with you an overview, recap and photo highlights because I know you guys love tech as much as I do!
 |
| Verizon's unique approach to sharing the results of their gaming survey by posting them on old school gaming cartridges, definitely got everyone's attention! And YES Buffering is PAINFUL. It's a slow, painful state that my cable ISP puts me through often... |
 |
| Not that you would ever want this to happen, but it's good to know you are covered if it does! |
 |
| 3D Printing - I will be creating and printing BUTTERFLIES all day - like you had to ask right? |

The Jamstik is the real deal my friends! |
 |

 |
| reveel sound from BSG Technologies Booth at Engadget ExpandNY 2013 Technology Tradeshow - If you want to hear your music exactly the way the studio intended for you to hear it and for it to actually sound, you NEED the Reveel Sound with it's patented audio technology in your life! It is portable, re-chargeable, includes a headphone amp and makes even the best headphones sound better, and I can attest to that as they sent me home with this device, and I have tested it on EVERYTHING on my MP3 Devices, Android Devices and all my headphones and earbuds, I will give this it's own day in the sun here on Ascending Butterfly so stay tuned. As "The Official Twitter Party DJ" I take my Audio and Audio Accessories seriously, and this blew me away. It will actually be the first VLOG I've done in a good long time, because with this, hearing is believing! |
 |
| torque headphones Booth at Engadget ExpandNY 2013 Technology Tradeshow - I wish they would have sent me home with these because I would love to have coupled with them the reveel sound device and tested out various genres on my playlists. I did get to hear these at their booth and I will admit I did like the sound! I definitely invite them back if they are up to letting the Twitter Party DJ put these through my paces! |
 |
| Outlook.com Booth at Engadget ExpandNY 2013 Technology Tradeshow |
 |
| Gogo Inflight Internet Booth at Engadget ExpandNY 2013 Technology Tradeshow - I haven't had the pleasure of trying them out yet in flight, and sadly the rep wasn't there when I passed by, but I loved the airline seats in their booth so I snapped a shot! |
 |
| #tagboard Booth at Engadget ExpandNY 2013 Technology Tradeshow - This is a cross-network hashtag-powered social hub live collection of social media posted hashtags arranged in a visual mosaic, you can do more than just view social posts on a tagboard, you can also engage with them. Dare I say, they are putting the social back in well.....SOCIAL? |
 |
| I swear it was daylight when I entered, and of course pitch black out when I left! I can literally get absorbed for hours when it comes to all things TECH! |
 |
| There was drawing on walls in a Blacklight room during the Engadget ExpandNY 2013 Technology Tradeshow After Party - If you think Geeks don't know how to party I can tell you that you are very wrong, but what happens at the After Party, Stays at the After Party - or I may have been sworn to secrecy, so there won't be many pictures (that doesn't mean I didn't take many though, tee hee!) |
 |
| The final product! I was born in the year of the boar (little known trivia), but of course I drew a butterfly! |
 |
| With me being "The Official Twitter Party DJ" you know I take pictures of DJ's everywhere I go so needless to say that the Engadget ExpandNY 2013 Technology Tradeshow After Party |
My Take:
I love technology tradeshows, you get to see the newest and best and watch the newer technology put your current stuff to shame! I will say I was really leaning toward the Audio, but aside from Writing and Travel, Music is definitely up there when it comes to being a passion of mine. I enjoyed Engadget and of course recapping it is putting me in a CES state of mind.....
Butterfly, tell me which product caught YOUR eye?

The drawing on walls in the back lit room is the adult version of toddler heaven! If only I could incorporate into our playroom... Thanks for sharing. Looked really busy and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThey actually aren't too hard to set up! And they are totally fun for all ages! Engadget was definitely super busy but as a tech lover I was in Electronics HEAVEN!

The Torque headphones and the Reveal sound look really nice. I had a discount on the Gogo air internet on a Delta flight once. Was able to use my iPad and ipod on the internet.
ReplyDelete@David Wilson - Since I can never seem to fall asleep on flight, I am going to have to try out GoGo during my next flight, it will let me stay productive and get some work done before I even land at my destination! (and listen to Spotify also!)

This sounds like a great event for technology lovers like myself. I love seeing the new things that they do with technology.
ReplyDelete@Katherine Phillips - Definitely a great tradeshow for tech lovers! Will you be hitting CES in January?
