Newegg held its annual Eggie Awards gala at the Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace Las Vegas on Jan. 5. Now in its 13th year, the Eggies was hosted by Silicon Valley’s Thomas Middleditch and is our way to start off the new year by thanking the people who made 2016 a successful year. Without these vendors (and our customers, of course!) we wouldn’t be where we are today.
Thomas Middleditch entertained the crowd with a glimpse into his personal history as a PC enthusiast, including tales of LAN parties in his youth and recent upgrades to his personal PC.
A total of 40 Eggies were handed out to companies and customers who contributed to Newegg’s triumphs in 2016.
