I was just wondering if anyone else went to the Gadget Show Live 2015 this year and if so what did you think of it?

Personally for me I think it was middle ground at best. I have been to previous Gadget Shows all of which have been bigger with more exhibitors. This year the biggest stands were taken by Ebuyer and HP (Excluding the Mazda car driving).

From a photography perspective, Panasonic had around 3 stands and were showing off their Cameras, a few people selling action cams were dotted around as well as Go Pro who had a small stand showing their Hero products.

The super theatre didn’t really feature much in the way of new tech which was very disappointing, in previous years they have had ground breaking tech being demoed. The best bit of the super theatre was when Jason’s Delorean came out on stage. They seemed to fill time with ‘light shows’ where people were dancing in what can be described as LED suits.

Overall I was slightly disappointed. Tickets for my Dad and I were around £62 car parking there was £12 too! When you factor in the 2 and a bit hour drive, cost of fuel it’s easily a £100+ day out.

Did anyone else go? What were your thoughts?
 
Sorry, never been. I liked the gadget show for a while but then it became something of caricature of itself and very silly; really tired of their "challenges"and John Bentley doing his manic Michael Bentine thing.
 
I went 7-8 years ago and it was pants, like being in a huge computer shop

I was really looking forward to seeing the Honda Asimo Robot but it was only there for the first day

100s of disappointed kids because all the new games being demonstrated were in the 18+ area , 15 year old kids weren't very interested in nintendo's latest game for the wii

we didn't have the special tickets that get you in at the front of the show so arrived early, got corralled into a pen, waited 1/2 an hour and they opened the gate at the other end so all the people that arrived last got the best seats

I wouldn't go again if it were free
