2. Check out established and exciting new brands
SITEX 2019 not only gathers established technology brands that will showcase their latest products, but also new brands on the block that you may not have heard of before but should get to know.

3. Take workouts to the next level
Don’t just settle for boring workouts – it’s time to learn how technology can be incorporated into daily workouts so that you can achieve better results efficiently!
Fitness junkies will love the new Health and Wellness zone at SITEX 2019, specially curated with a wide variety of the latest fitness gear and equipment that will complement any fitness regime.
Take the time to speak to Fight Zone, a Muay Thai fitness studio that uses wearables such as heart rate monitors to provide customers with real-time analytical data to enhance their workout.
No fitness routine would be complete without proper recovery, so you can also pick up some tips from Dr.stretch, stretching specialists who teach a unique Core Balance Stretch. This unique technique was developed in Japan by a trainer for Major League Baseball team, the Boston Red Socks, and is said to allow practitioners to access their core muscles to increase flexibility, reduce pain and speed up muscle recovery – and you get to learn it at SITEX!
4. Bond with the whole family over games
These days gaming is usually associated with pro-gamers who play games as a career, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be as exclusive as it sounds.
The revamped Gaming Zone is geared towards millennial engagement and aims to create an immersive family experience so that everyone can enjoy gaming together.
Apart from e-sports activities and gaming opportunities, families can look forward to enjoying interactive sessions with their kids in both virtual and tactile gaming environments for the ultimate fun day out, as well as take the time to appreciate the work of talented digital artists across multiple mediums over the weekend.
Of course, gaming enthusiasts will have their fair share of excitement as well, including a celebration of classic games at RetroDNA’s Free Play Zone.
5. Showcase your talents
If you are an aspiring artist or digital enthusiast aged between 15 to 30, you’ll definitely want to head down to SITEX 2019 to show what you’ve got, because you stand a chance to get your creations credited AND get work opportunities!
