We're gearing up to take over Exchange LA this Friday, August 21st at 7PM for our next Engadget Live event, where we'll bring together gadget lovers and awesome tech brands. Sound good? First, grab your free tickets and then read on to find out what you can expect at our free event in downtown Los Angeles!

If you've never been to an Engadget Live event before, check out the fun we had just last month in Boston, where in addition to meeting our readers and watching them go hands-on with the latest in tech, we made sure to try out drunk skateboarding.

Thanks to our sponsor Ford, you'll have the chance to sit inside a 2016 Ford Escape, complete with that new car smell. You can also experience the new voice-activated SYNC 3 system in the car or through standalone screens set up around the venue.

There's a lot more to experience and get hands-on with in downtown Los Angeles during Engadget Live. Our friend Mark Setrakian (who joined us at Engadget Expand last November) made these mesmerizing Axis Robots, which will be on site for you to check out.

What else can you expect at Engadget Live Los Angeles? Here's a handful of companies (local and national) that will be on-hand:

  • Ario will demonstrate the "World's first Healthy Lamp," which adjusts light color and direction to support your body's circadian rhythm.

  • Braven will show off its latest Bluetooth high fidelity audio speakers (and its parent company, Incipio, will let you get hands-on with its mobile device accessories.

  • Drizly will offer a free alcoholic beverage to the first 250 people in the door (21 and older, of course!)

  • RYOT is a news organization that links every story to an action and empower you to become the news. Their most recent project, 'Welcome to Aleppo,' allows viewers to enter a war zone through virtual reality.

  • Speaking of VR, we'll have folks from UploadVR, White Elk Studios and Otherworld on hand to show off what they've been up to.

If this sounds like the ideal way to spend this Friday night in downtown Los Angeles, grab your free tickets here and we'll see you on the 21st. Then, we'll wrap up our Engadget Live series in Austin, TX on October 16th.
