From gaming to fashion to business, no one should miss the chance to check out the Wearable Tech Expo<\/a> in New York week.\u00a0 Held at the Kimmel Center on the 24th<\/sup> and 25th<\/sup>, this event promises to be one of awesome proportions, with some impressive keynotes.\u00a0 The presenters include Adidas, Second Sight, ElectricFoxy.com, and even Plantronics Senior Director of Innovation, Cary Bran.\u00a0 This is just the tip of the iceberg, as tons of vendors and top media influencers will be on site.<\/p>\n

Right now most \u201cwearable tech\u201d is fitness and sports related devices.\u00a0 This first tier is considered phase 1 of the market.\u00a0 Phase 2 is the \u201cinfotainment\u201d market, which include entertainment items like Google Glass and smart watches.\u00a0 The rumored Apple iWatch would also fall under this category, if it is officially released.\u00a0 Currently Bluetooth headsets are not considered a \u201cWearable Device\u201d however that point is under some debate.<\/p>\n

The expo pass is free, but only grants access to the site showcase and networking reception on the 24th<\/sup>.\u00a0 If you want to see the Keynotes with fantastic speakers, you\u2019ll need a platinum or diamond pass, costing roughly $400-$500.\u00a0 These prices allow admission to all conferences and keynote sessions, and provide food and drink during all meals and breaks.<\/p>\n

The Demo Schedule for Wednesday has impressive written all over it.\u00a0 Check out the companies below, and make sure to note the Plantronics Demo at 4:10 \u2013 4:20pm.<\/p>\n
