Gadget aficionados from the city can look forward to a three-day expo that promises a variety of international and domestic gadgets, all under one roof. The first edition of the International Gadget Rush (IGR) will begin Friday at the JRC Convention centre in Jubilee Hills. The IGR will see the participation of 40 companies showcasing their products ranging from cameras to mobile phones and gaming accessories to tablets.
As part of the event, the organisers have also decided to provide a platform for budding gamers and gizmo entrepreneurs. 'To nurture upcoming talent, a special innovation pavilion is being created at the expo where students who have innovated or created gadgets can showcase their talent,' said IGR concept head Varun.
'We have been approached by some colleges to showcase their talent, but we will select the five best innovations and put it up for display.' Mr. Varun is expecting a turnout of about 10,000 visitors.
SVM group chairman T. Vijayender, who is associated with the event, said for the first time in the country, the arcade version of the popular 'Temple Run' game will be launched at the Forum Mall. He said that through a video version, visitors at IGR will be introduced to the game, as well as 'Subway Surfers'.
