Since 1958, this international event has showcased innovation and provided an opportunity for aspiring, emerging and established inventors to move from ideas to manufacturing to marketplace.

Inventors from across the country have traveled to the Redwood Area Community Center to test market their products and attend Inventing Success Workshops, hosted by experts who teach the product development process.  Some 71 inventors from 18 states showcased their inventions this past June.

Inventors are encouraged to reserve a booth space as soon as possible to market their products. Manufacturers are also invited to make plans to attend and seek out products that match their manufacturing capabilities.
