For the past 16 years, Barry has been helping technology brands big and small truly connect with consumers. But please don’t call him a social media expert. He currently serves as the Director of Sales & Business Development for gdgt where he created the hugely successful gdgt Live event series which crisscrosses the country bringing tech brands together with real geeks. Prior to gdgt, Barry co-founded and served as the Director of Ziff Davis’ massive consumer-facing trade show, DigitalLife. Transplanted to NY a few years after graduating for law school in 1996, Barry’s other passion is raising his five-year old son Gregory to be a Red Sox fan while living in the heart of Manhattan.
The Mobile Apps Showdown is a fast-paced contest where you're asked to weigh in on the apps you think have what it takes to make it. For the months leading up to the 2013 CES, we'll be presenting the contestants to you. You can try the apps, watch demos, make your feelings known, and ultimately vote on a winner. We're platform agnostic, so if it's mobile, it's in the competition.
The top ten apps will join us at 2013 CES for an action packed event hosted by Jon Hein and Gary Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern Wrap Up Show.
Robin Raskin, creator of the Mobile Apps Showdown, will be there to emcee events.
By the end of this year, nearly 50 billion apps will have been downloaded. Only you know which ones are the keepers.
