iBUYPOWER + HYTE and tech creator Jason Langiven, aka JayzTwoCents, have teamed up for the inaugural SoCalTech Fair, a 2-day event that brings together SoCal tech creators, brands, and new gear. Held on May 3 and 4, brands participating include ASUS and Corsair and creators include Bitwit, Austin Evans, Trisha Hershberger, and more. The event was made for gamers and tech enthusiasts and will include event merchandise, raffles, exclusive activities, hands-on demos, food, drink, and a large tech yard sale for cheap!
“My idea for this, like I’ve already said, this is intended to be a very Renfair style,” JayzTwoCents said in a recent YouTube video. “What I mean by that, it’s meant to be able to go there, maybe buy some stuff, listen to some music, get some food. But also if you’re not there to buy anything, but you just want to experience a community, like a bunch of tech enthusiasts in one spot, kind of enjoying positivity rather than all the negative **** going around. That’s the idea with that.”
There’s also a handy guide for those attending, which you can check out here. https://ibuypower.notion.site/SOCALTECH-FAIR-2025-1d745451f18a8001b8c1e19f70c0b572
