Live Blog: Fitbit Boston @ BostonTechJam
Boston TechJam
City Hall Plaza, Boston, MA
Thursday, June 11, 2015 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm
I've always liked getting involved, so when I heard that Fitbit-Boston managed to get a booth last minute at @BostonTechJam I signed up immediately!
I volunteered to help pack up the truck, go down to the site here at Boston's City Hall Plaza here in Government Center, set up, and staff the booth.
I will be live blogging the event! Stop by this page throughout the day, and I will be posting pictures and updates about my experience here. Feel free to come by, take pictures, and tag me in them. On Twitter I am @tjmaher1.
12:09 PM: Setting up the Booth
After a long traffic-filled ride from the office, we unload the truck and start setting up. Come on down! We are in Booth 16.
1:45 PM: Setting up the Banner
After a quick lunchbreak, and a quick trip to get zip ties for the Fitbit banner, we started setting up the booth.
The little Drew Carrey-like decal on my MacBook? My wife bought me that for my birthday!
2:12 PM: Setting up the Ring Toss Game
The Fitbit-Boston Booth Game: Win a chance for a Fitbit Headband! #ILoveThe80s #RingToss.
3:40 PM All Checked in
Answer: @Fitbit recorded 27,393,832,831 steps that Massachusetts registered users took this May. Giveway held @BostonTechJam #BTJ2015.
We had four lucky winners receive a Fitbit Surge, a Fitbit Charge HR, a Fitbit Flex, and a Fitbit One!
I must say, I never worked at a company whose products made people so happy! I am lucky to be part of the Fitbit-Boston team.

People love the ring toss game! More people play the ring toss than want to guess how many steps were registered in Massachusetts.

Some people enjoy the temporary tattoos more than others. #TrampStamp
