Wearable technology gets its own event

Google Glass is still being tested by a limited number of lucky users, and Apple’s rumored smart watch remains ever elusive, but wearables is clearly one of the fastest growing areas in technology, so it’s inevitable that an exhibition would be set up to showcase it.

The Wearable Technology Show will be held on the 18th and 19th March 2014, at the Olympia Conference Centre in London, and include three dedicated conference rooms, over 70 sessions on fashion, sports and fitness, health, M2M, live product demos, a developer hackfest and a business startup track.

Lisa Doerr, Event Director for The Wearable Technology Show says, "We are really excited to be launching the first show in the UK for wearable technology. We’ve already had considerable interest in the event, with pre-registrations for delegate passes already at 26 percent take up before our website went live!"

In addition the show will be hosting The Wearables -- the first dedicated awards for wearable technology in the UK.

Full details of the event, plus the list of confirmed speakers, can be found on The Wearable Technology Show website.
