Ben will also talk about his predictions for the future - what's around the corner in geek toys and how will it make life more interesting?
This is the inaugural event for the Auckland NZCS Young IT Professionals Group (YITPG), a new NZCS Specialist Group focusing on 20- and 30-somethings.

About @nzben
Ben is a certified gadget-freak, self-styled technologist, raconteur, mentor, manager, megalomaniac.
By day he is a mild-mannered software development executive. Having no suit to tear off, he instead transforms himself into a super gadget-freak by blogging (ben.geek.nz) and tweeting (@nzben) about all things shiny and electronic.
In his spare time you can find him moving various vehicles around via remote control, reading hard sci-fi, tinkering with electronics, fixing the house, and other such interesting and diverse pastimes as may catch his fancy.
You can see him on TVNZ Breakfast here (he's the one not crashing the helicopter...)
Special thanks to Microsoft for sponsoring the venue.
