For the 4th consecutive year, we'll be kicking off the gdgt live Tour down in Austin and we'd love to have you there.

Come out, have a drink and check out some of today's hottest new gear and services. We'll have the list of sponsors posted on the gdgt live site very soon.

As always, gdgt live is FREE to attend and SXSW badges are not required. 

We'll have free gdgt t-shirts for the first several hundred attendees so be sure to get there early if you want one. 

Everyone who shows up will have plenty of chances to win some awesome stuff from our great sponsors. 

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, this event is 21+ only. We're not happy about it, but all our other 2013 gdgt live events will oepn to everyone.

Members of the media should contact Barry at barry [at] gdgt [dot] com for details on the press preview hour beginning at 6pm. Companies interested in being part of gdgt live in Austin can also contact Barry.

gdgt live is the only tech event series specifically designed to give actual consumers a chance to connect face-to-face with todays top tech companies and hottest startups. 

Make sure to tell your friends and share info on the event on your social networks. The official Twitter hashtag is @gdgtaustin.

Look forward to seeing you there!
