There’s probably no industry more fierce and more intense in competition nowadays than the tech scene, which is why a ton of people usually do their research before setting out to show their support for a certain company. Consumers are growing more and more smart these days, consulting with fellow consumers and other third parties before making their decisions – especially in the tech industry where you can never be too careful what you spend your hard earned cash on.
Whether you’re in the market for some gadgets, appliances, or a car to purchase or rent out, using an online comparison service is always in order. But for those who want to get into the thick of things with their tech, events such as conventions and expos are always your best bet. Here are some of the scheduled tech events for Australia you might want to look out for:
