The international digital festival runs for five days, from Oct. 2 to Oct. 6, with conferences about the latest technology, exhibitions, speakers, entertainment and a chance to network. Highlights include an opening party on Friday in Wall Street Plaza, a battle of the geek bands on Saturday for the techies that like to rock and two days of all things gaming, including gaming tournaments, industry experts and live demos.
