Don’t miss the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) free conference for inventors, makers, and entrepreneurs, Invention-Con 2023: Building tomorrow’s innovation, happening May 10-12, from noon to 4 p.m. ET daily.

We’ve got an exciting lineup of panels featuring accomplished inventors, innovators, entrepreneurs, business owners, and intellectual property (IP) experts who will provide information and resources that can help you develop a successful strategy:

Day one: Understanding your value (virtual) – learn what you should offer for investment, how to harness the power of branding and trademark protection, and when, why, and how to license your IP.

Day two: Connecting to opportunities (virtual) – discover how to successfully network, build a solid business plan, and craft the perfect pitch to find and secure funding.

Day three: Moving your business forward (virtual and in-person) – find out how to turn passion into profits, overcome obstacles in manufacturing, and pivot in the marketplace

These and other learning opportunities await at Invention-Con 2023. You can view the full agenda on the event page, and register today to attend online or in person (May 12 only) at USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia.
