Each meeting has time for networking, a relevant speaker, and association business. We also meet in the evening the week following for a "happy hour" for inventors and interested resource providers.....a roundtable setting to share ideas, ask for advice, and find encouragement for the next step. Started in July 2014, our members come from very diverse backgrounds and their innovations are wide-ranging. From seasoned patent holders to those who are just beginning, visitors are encouraged to tell us how we can support each inventor's journey.
