“Wearable tech is THE big news for 2014 and it’s only going to get bigger, with experts predicting it will be worth as much as $8.4 billion by 2018,” commented Wearable Technology Conference director John Weir.“And it’s not surprising when you consider it has the potential to impact all of our lives, both professionally and personally, affecting everything from our health and wellbeing, to the way we see, hear, communicate and play with the world
“For anyone who is interested in finding out how wearable tech can change their life, their job, their business, their industry or their customers’ lives, there is only one place to be on 18-19 March, and that’s the Wearable Technology Conference.”
