Inventor Shows, Conferences and Networking

We recommend that you consider going to an inventor expo or conference to attend workshops and seminars and to have the chance to meet with other inventors and service providers. Below are listed the shows that we think are worth checking out. As always, be sure to google and search for who sponsors the show and who they have for speakers and presenters. We strongly feel that you should attend any show once before getting a booth to see if you think it is worth the cost and to attend the workshops.
