Giveaway: Win A Pair of Tickets to the Gadget Show Live (CLOSED)

February 17, 2016 by geekmummy

The Gadget Show Live at the NEC is one of the highlights of my year. It’s a pretty unique chance to immerse myself in all the latest tech and gadgets, and makes for a really fun day out. It’s apparently Britains largest consumer tech show, and when it returns to the NEC this Easter the organisers are expecting 75,000 tech fans to flood through the doors. I shall be there again this year, and I am working with the Gadget Show Live team in order to offer a great giveaway that means some of my readers could be there too.

Gadget Show Live 2016 logo

If you want to know what a day at the Gadget Show Live is like you can read my blog posts about my 2015 experience and my 2014 experiences. For 2016 four fantastic new areas have been added – Better Life, Power Up, The Lab and The Arcade, and here’s what the press release has to say about these:

Better Life – visitors to Better Life will discover tech that’s been engineered to enhance their everyday lives, whether that’s tech that seamlessly integrates different areas of their lives, or aesthetically irresistible products to beautify the home.

Sitting at the heart of Better Life is the House of Sound and Vision. Playing host to a truly cinematic experience, visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the latest home cinema technology on the market. They can test out a cinema style experience in a purpose built living room kitted out with the latest audio, TV and surround sound tech to try before they buy.

Power Up – visitors will find technology with the power to drive their lives forward, everything from mobiles to wearables, fitness devices and in-car kit. Test drive very cool cars in the Car Experience and the latest personal transport devices on the Gadget Wheels Test Track.

The Lab – concept and innovation are integral to modern day tech and at Gadget Show Live visitors can discover inspirational tech for the future as well as advice and education on how the tech of tomorrow can change their lives.

In The Lab, visitors can hear gadget reviews from our experts in the Connect Theatre, see the tech of the future in the British Inventors’ Project and Innovation Theatre, and make their own gadgets in Engineer Your Future.

The Arcade – this is the place for gamers to become truly immersed in the very latest titles on the market, compete against friends (and even against the pros) in the Competition Zone and Minecraft Zone, check out innovative new games in the Indie Mobile & Gaming Pod and take a trip down memory lane with some fine vintage flashbacks.

I have to say I am very much looking forward to exploring those new areas!

The Gadget Show Live is open between Thursday 31st March and Sunday 3rd April 2016. It’s open between 9am and 6pm with the exception of the first day when doors open to the public at 11am. Tickets start at £10 for children and £17 for adults, and you can find more information and purchase tickets via the Gadget Show Live website.

The Gadget Show Live team are offering 5 pairs of tickets for the Gadget Show Live on Thursday 31st March to Geekmummy readers. In order to be in with a chance to win one of these pairs of tickets all you need to do is add a comment below telling me what you would most like to see at the Gadget Show Live this year. It could be an area of the show, or a specific product you want to get “hands on” with.

    I’d love to check out the fitness wearables, but the thing I’d like to see most? The look of joy on my son’s face and the knowledge that he is proud of me for facing my anxieties head on in taking him there when he has begged me every year for as long as I can remember and I’ve never had the confidence.
