Earlier this year, about 2,000 of our closest friends in the San Francisco Bay Area came by and, together, we had ourselves a heck of a time. The first ever Expand was filled with electric cars, UAVs, great speakers and, of course, a plethora of great gadgets and giveaways. It was so much fun that we just knew we’d have to do it again. So, that’s exactly what we’re going to do. We’re very happy to announce that Expand is coming to New York City on November 9th and 10th. We’ll be at the spacious Javits Center, home of great events like the New York International Auto Show and the New York Comic Con.
And why should you attend Expand NY? We’ll have a huge show floor where you can get your hands on the latest gadgets and devices for consumers — plus a lot of things not normally open for public use. (Attendees of the first Expand got to try out the $2 million da Vinci surgical robot.) We’ll also have an agenda full of great speakers up on stage for you to listen to and to meet. Last time, Kickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler kicked off a program full of amazing conversations, like a fireside chat with OUYA CEO Julie Uhrman. And, we gave away $25,000 to the creators of the Ziphius Acquatic Drone, winners of our first ever Insert Coin competition.

Welcome to The After Math, where we attempt to summarize this week’s tech news through numbers, decimal places and percentages.
Last weekend, we wrapped up our inaugural Expand event, and while several of our international editors (yours truly included) are still battling an unhappy combo of jet lag and the sniffles, we’ve pulled together some numbers that should offer at least a glimpse at how the weekend in San Francisco all went down. What if you missed out on all the tech, discussions, Engadget editors and giveaways this time? We wouldn’t worry. Next stop, New York.
It seems like a year ago already, but it’s been only a few days since we wrapped up our inaugural Engadget Expand event. If you weren’t able to join us in person, you missed a seriously good time. Attendees got to take a ride in a Tesla Model S, perform surgery using a da Vinci robotic surgery system and cruise around the show floor on the San Francisco Special edition of the electric ZBoard, which made its debut at the show.

It’s all been leading up to this! We narrowed it down to 10 semifinalists, and you helped us whittle the list down to five — and now we’re ready to announce the winner of our first-ever Insert Coin competition! Join co-host Mark Frauenfelder and our panel of judges as they unveil the results.
