Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve been traveling all across this great nation of ours over the past year, and now it’s time to pay a visit to Beantown. Our pals at gdgt will be joining us next month to bring our electronics event to Boston’s Space 57. Come and check out exhibits from Nokia, Microsoft SkyDrive, TiVO, iRobot and more. And as with past Engadget + gdgt Live events, we’re holding a startup competition for smaller companies looking to get in on the action. Details for that — and ticket registration — can be found in the source link below. We’ll see you guys on October 10th!

Hey there Emerald City, it’s been a while — around ten months, to be exact. We’re coming back to Seattle at the end of this month, and this time we’re bringing our pals from gdgt with us. We’ll be throwing the latest Engadget + gdgt event at the Showbox SoDo on August 31st. As usual, there’ll be plenty to see and play with (and take home, if you’re lucky), from the likes of Outlook, Nokia and Logitech. We’re also holding a startup contest, so one up-and-coming local company can score floorspace gratis. You can nab a free ticket for yourself and a friend or two at the source link below. It’s also not too late to get in on that sponsorship action. See you in Seattle!

As most of you know by now, we’ve recently welcomed some old friends back to the fold here at greater Aol Tech. We’re thrilled to be working with the gdgt crew on our first event together, tomorrow night in Austin during SXSW.

We’d love to have you join us for a night of fun gadgety action — take a break from your intense schedule of panels and booze buses and come on out to mingle with gdgt and Engadget staff, check out the devices our sponsors are bringing in spades (plus win some!) and have a great time with like-minded technophiles. It’s free to attend, and you don’t even need a SXSW badge to get in. The one catch: you must be 21 or over to come to this party (upside: open bar!), although our future events will be all ages.

• When: Saturday, March 9th (7:00pm – 10:00pm CST)
• Where: The Hype Hotel, 301 Brazos Street Austin, TX
• How: RSVP here

See you there!

Wow. Thank you, New York City! We had a blast at last night’s reader meetup, and judging from everyone we spoke to, a Roseland Ballroom packed full of Gotham gadget geeks had a grand ‘ole time as well. Twelve lucky readers walked away with a Samsung Galaxy Note II on Sprint and nearly 30 people took home house cleaning bots from the folks at iRobot — not to mention the Nook tablets, Oakley Airwave goggles and VestGuard UK Ballistic bulletproof case and iPad, to name but a few. We tested readers’ tech (and Wu Tang) knowledge and dancing and singing skills.

There were booths from Sprint, Samsung, Garmin, Speck, Dell, Barnes & Noble, MakerBot, iRobot, Oakley and GoGo Inflight, or as attendee Peter M. put it, a “mini-CES meets A Night at the Improv.” Relive the magic in the gallery below.
