Top 5 Bro Events of the Year

in

If you can score a seat or ticket to any of these events, consider yourself a bro in the know. Many new professionals find it difficult to reconcile their former social life with the constraints of the new nine to five (which, these days, is becoming a whole lot more like five to nine).

5. Coachella – Take a break from the daily grind and relax for a few days in the desert – rock out at Coachella with thousands of other eclectic music and arts fans.

4. North American International Auto Show - What could be more bro than a two-week event devoted to hot cars? Auto aficionados head to Detroit each winter to see the latest production vehicles and concept cars.

3. South by Southwest – SXSW offers the excitement and entertainment value of film and music conferences along with a professional component: the excellent Interactivity conference. Tech geeks from around the world converge in Austin each March to discuss everything from design to usability to video games to tech business models and play with the coolest new gadgets. A great opportunity to network with the most networked people.

2. MacWorld – The January MacWorld Conference & Expo provides opportunities to learn from industry leaders as well as a first look at new technologies. Typically, MacWorld attendees are also treated to a major Mac announcement – this year the MacBook Air was introduced as the ‘world’s thinnest notebook computer,’ which was exciting, but could not top last year’s unveiling of the Apple iPhone.

1. International Consumer Electronics Show – Despite its costly price tag for exhibitors, January’s CES is the place to be for anyone in the industry. The glamour of Vegas and the allure of sleek new gadgets and exciting demos from top tech companies combine to form a memorable experience and a networking opportunity you can’t resist.
