gdgt live returns to San Francisco on November 12th!

San Francisco, gdgt is coming home on November 12th! It’s been about a year since we launched out here and we’re back with our biggest and best event to date: over 40 amazing technology companies will be showing off.

You really don’t want to miss this, especially since we’ll have free gdgt t-shirts and cellphone cases for the first few hundred people who show up, plus a bunch of cool giveaways (and, of course, a ton of hot new gadgets to play with).
When: Friday, November 12th from 7 – 10pm
Where: SFDC Galleria, 101 Henry Adams St. (map after the break)
Update: We’ve added shuttle buses to help you get to and from the event, courtesy of Lenovo! Pickups are every 10-15 minutes at:

  • Civic Center MUNI / BART – pickup location is on the north side of Grove St., in front of the entrance to the San Francisco Public Library
