Colorado Inventor Showcase November 10, 2008

This year's event will mark the 4th annual Colorado Inventor Showcase. Each year the Showcase attracts some of the nation's finest inventors and their incredibly clever inventions. Inventions are judged by a cast of over 50 celebrity judges, and will be on display throughout the afternoon and evening for all attendees.
Featured Speaker - Jay S. Walker, Founder of Priceline.com. Jay Walker is chairman of Walker Digital, a private R&D laboratory based in Stamford, CT. He founded the lab in 1994 with the guiding vision that new consumer applications for large-scale networks represent the key growth opportunity for many industries. Walker holds around 250 U.S. patents. In total, Walker Digital has invented about 1,000 applications for the Internet, cell phones, credit-card networks, and casino networks, as well as vending machines and lottery and retail networks. The company employs teams of inventors, engineers, designers, and attorneys. Typically, it partners with Fortune 500 firms to bring its inventions to market. Walker is best known as the founder of Priceline.com. He also founded Synapse, which became the worlds largest seller of magazine subscriptions and is now a unit of Time Warner.

In addition to a very exciting, information packed day, we have added a few new features and a couple unusual twists to the agenda.
The Inventor Boot Camp is a pre-showcase event that will start the day at 10:00 am. This event will feature sessions on "Turning Your Invention Into a Product", "Intellectual Property Strategies", "Licensing Your Invention", and "Success Stories". All sessions will be presented by some of the true experts on these topics. (More information coming soon)
Celebrity Judges: This year we will have over 60 Celebrity Judges reviewing the entries including TV personalities, VCs, bankers, corporate execs, newspaper editors, etc. (see below)
Museum of Future Inventions: As the DaVinci Institute continues with its plans to develop the world's first Museum of Future Inventions, major things have started to happen. Join us for a quick overview of the Museum's progress and learn how you can become part of this once in a lifetime opportunity.
