Gadgets present a huge opportunity for online exposure and engagement, and if you're a developer, designer or marketer, knowing how to put one together and market it is invaluable knowledge.

For this reason Google South Africa got us on board to give you the low-down on building and marketing gadgets.

The two sessions, presented by Rob Stokes and Craig Raw, will cover why you need a gadget and how to go about building one. Given our experience in working with this medium, and Google's vision and help along our way, we really do believe there is some exceptional knowledge to be shared here.

The event will take place in Midrand in Gauteng on the 25th of August at 4:30 pm (that's two weeks away folks). The only bad news is that seats are by invitation only, and so contacting Jeanette for a seat as soon as you can is just about the most important thing you could do in the next two minutes.

All you need to do is let us know that you're interested by emailing gadget@quirk.biz with your name, job title and company name. Jeanette will let you know where you need to show up.

The teams at Google and Quirk are really excited about this event, and we hope to see you there.
