Our next public seminar is "Invention 101" by patent attorney Mike McEntee, Friday February 10, 2012 at Chapman University at 7:30 PM, Room 202 in the Argyros Forum Building. Please come up to a half hour early to register and network with other inventors. There is a nice little restaurant with moderate prices directly below our meeting room if you want to arrive earlier and meet with someone and have a little privacy.
At the January 27th meeting, the Plastec West, Medical Design and Manufacturing, West Pack, Electronics West, Pacific Design and Manufacturing, Automation Technology, Sensor Tec, Aerocon, and Sustainability convention was discussed. It takes place in Anaheim, CA, February 14-16. One badge from any of the above is good for all of the above. Please go to www.mdmwest.com for detail and "free" registration information. On the bottom of the page you will see the 8 conventions within a convention. Choose the one that is of most interest to you so answering all the questions about who you are will be somewhat relevant. You get in free because they want a little information about you. Parking at the Convention Center is limited and expensive, $12 a day, so free shuttles and parking from Anaheim Stadium, where the Angels play baseball, are available, just click on the Travel link and go to Parking info. This is a huge convention so be prepared to do some walking. Food is generally a lot cheaper in the concessions, a little west of the Marriot lobby, than in the convention center. Enjoy and learn.
