The Wearable Technologies Australia and Melbourne Wearables Meetup are combining into one meetup group. http://www.meetup.com/Wearable-Technologies-Australia/events/200924722/

We expect you'll be wearing your favourite wearable tech product. If you've ditched one because it didn't meet your expectations, definitely bring it along.
