Norwalk, CT – October 1, 2013 – TMC (News - Alert) today announced that Wearable Tech Expo has announced the agenda for the December 10-11, 2013, conference being held at the Hilton Los Angeles in Universal City, California. The event will explore the burgeoning market for wearable technology products and services.
