There’s a New ‘W’ in Town: Join us for SXSWearables at SXSW 2014

One of the biggest emerging trends in tech this year is the popularity of wearables. Wrist-worn activity trackers are the hottest products in the category at the moment, but as wearables’ technologies become more sophisticated and their designs push into new directions, expect to see some exciting new entrants in the space.

From sensors that measure your posture to ears that fulfill your desire to express yourself like a cat (finally), there will be no shortage this year of imaginative new wearables. How do you sort through them all? Rock Health is here to help.

Sunday, March 9th at this year’s SXSW festival, we will be hosting an all-wearables showcase at gastropub, Swift’s Attic from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM. We’re calling it: SXSWearables. It will be a morning of good food, plenty of mimosas and Misfit Shine giveaways, great company, and the most innovative new wearables of 2014.

Featured companies include:
