Taking place ahead of the five day Gadget Show Live consumer event, Gadget Show Live Professional is the leading technology show in the UK designed for trade and press visitors. The shows are based on the popular channel FIVE television programme.

With more than 250 exhibitors at the show, Gadget Show Live Professional is a unique opportunity for industry buyers and journalists to touch, test and compare the very latest in tech products and services within a business-focused environment. 4,735 visitors attended in 2012 and organiser Upper Street Events is expecting those numbers to rise for 2013.

Microsoft, Sonos, Acer, Freesat, Volkswagen, Game, Turtle Beach, Epic Games, LG and Parrot are already confirmed for the event, which is now seen as the only viable UK platform for major consumer electronics organisations to launch products in the UK to both trade and media.
