Ron, this is a great opportunity you are offering here. I know you are a big advocate for made in the USA, so maybe something like “The American Innovation (or Innovators) …” Symposium or Conference or Expo?

Carol, domestic manufacturing is too controversial and a matter of opinion…really. I may be patriotic but others may favor some of the poorer countries to get a chance…just many opinions…and also if an American company manufactures overseas but the profits come into this country…well that is not too bad either…and the reality is, we cannot make everything here…I just ask that inventors consider some manufacturing here…maybe even partial.

It may not be possible to manufacture certain things here, the U.S. is not best at everything, but what bothered me, I noticed in the past 10 years inventors and the like did not even bother to see if they could make here…and that is how we destroyed our economy…I believe. Not trying to keep American business here if we can.

Maybe I don’t make as much doing things my stubborn way….but I just can’t explain how proud I am every time we export one of my invention to another country…and how they praise my American invention…or are excited to receive….very special to me….but to force my opinions on this inventor show…that is not my sole decisions anyway…can’t do that.

We will promote a booth or something to U.S. manufacturing and will seek a speaker from the White House on the subject. Got a connection in there…see if he’ll come. He speaks at shows.

I have no real good idea for this one so I will be silly…..

International Brain Tappers Conference

Good point. Of course, I didn’t mention domestic manufacturing….just thought it might be nice to celebrate American ingenuity and creativity, regardless of where the items are actually manufactured.

I’ll keep thinking. More likely than not, an idea will hit me just as I’m trying to go to sleep!

Yes Carol…the show is to support American innovation, inventing as we need it more than ever. It will be fun but also a very serious purpose too. We are losing out scientists, engineers and inventors as more people head toward business and marketing.

NJ has stated that problem many times after they used to enjoy the claim of the highest concentration of scientists and engineers in the U.S. which probably means the world.

This show will be an attempt to help with that realization.

Innoshow of Komorow

Can’t be anything personal with me. There are about 8 promoters in this all bigger than me…I’m just a helper….hopefully they’ll give me a free sandwich or something for helping.

K then Innoshow of Tomorrow

Ralf,
Komorow is clever.
“Inventshow” my be a little clearer.

Here’s mine.

Seriously:

How about “The Inventors LightBall”

The 1st Mid-Altantic Seaboard Inventor’s Congress
or MASIC for Short

The 1st Inventor’s Community Workshop
or ICW for Short

to go with the weather

The 1st Inventor’s Community Encounter
or ICE for Short

The 1st Inventor’s National Pilgrimage
or INP for Short

The 1st Inventor’s National Assembly
or INA for Short

Funny:

Inaugural National Venue for Encountering Nuts Together
or INVENT for Short

Inaugural National Inventor’s Togetherness
or INIT for Short

Inventor’s National Encounter
or INE for Short

together with

Originator’s of Oudated Technologies Encounter
or OUTE for Short

Inventor’s Convergence of the Brainiac Minds
or ICBM for Short

Inventshowns? LOL

Or you could make it sound as Grand as it may, in time, grow and call it the International Inventor’s Event.

I have no ther names..good luck! :-)

Ron, Thanks again for your great initiative. I love NJ & NY. This is just a small contribution. I told you I would support you any way I can.

I think you want a ONEWORD name that describes the event and operation, as opposed to a long tittle. I did some quick research, and I believe the proposed names may be used. “Inventfair.com” is just a phony site to try to sell the domain. There are ways around that.

You need a media kit. That lady at Kean College (It is Kean University now, BTW) may help you with that. Best of luck, and THANKS. I am very excited about this. It was about time.

US-INERG Convention/Show (Synergy anyone?)

United States – Invent Network Realize Grow Convention/Show/Expo/Gathering/Meeting/Conference/Etc.

Luis, we will keep it simple this year. I am building a website with the President of NJ Inventors Group…..many people will have say on content and there will be directions, date, where to mail a check, attendees and speakers listed. Keep it simple until we see how this evolves…what everyone thinks it should be….make everyone happy.

My idea us to try to expose inventors to as much media and other opportunities as possible. I know people in Popular Mechanics magazine…I’ll ask them to come by…all kinds of stuff. I’ll ask NY and NJ news stations to come…you know me…BIG mouth.

Sorry about my clumsiness. Please, click on link

So does the person who comes up with the winning name get $500.00?
Just kidding! :-)

Brain fractures Invitational

How about:

NewProductCon – New Products Convention also New Jersey/New YorK Product Convention

NewProductExpo

Liberty Inventors Exposition

Liberty Invention Exposition

Invent-I-Con 2010

Invent Expo 2010

2010 “Invention Perception Expo” OR “Intellectual Property Expo” (2010 IPE) ipexpo.org

Dond, I love that you like InventExpo, but the prize should come this way :o) I should even get a bonus for logo and slogans. Also proposed “InventFair”. I could not embed the image, so I provided a link. See…

I know Ron, so I gave them a very American feel

Luis, great work.

Here are my contributions:

Inventerprise 2010

Invention Connection 2010

Inventor’s Gateway 2010

Invention’s Pathway 2010

Invention Festival 2010

Inventor’s Marketplace 2010

Idea Circus 2010

Git-R-Invented

RK’s Open Bar 2010

All these suggestions help spur collective thought and WILL HELP. That is why focus groups are so important to inventors.

How about “Invention America…”

This way we could possibly have multiple shows in different cities each year…..sound big and meaningful and gives inventors a bigger purpose maybe…we invent to help America.

There is or was a big radio show called Air America but that did not influence my idea for this name.

We will also celebrate American inventor history to help inspire today’s inventors. I think we will ask all to print out a poster and hang on a designated wall of favorite inventors or inventions. Very easy, just send a copy to Staples and make a poster.

Good idea? So people can go up to the wall and be interested?

Any other ideas for the show? The show belongs to all inventors and promoters of inventions…that is why I think maybe Invention America may be a good name…add show, expo 2010…whatever….and I will ask the President to even speak…maybe, know someone in there that was trying to get me a meeting with the President. The name I suggest does sound important I think, one to attract media and some other established people that could help.

What else? What do we need at the show. C’mon…ideas….we will get the students involved. I would like Edison Nation and maybe a couple others to speak to the students only the day before…we’ll see though….next year will be two years…but this year looks like a very tough economy once again…that is why the booths will be VERY cheap. The NJ SBA, SBDC’s idea…cheap…to help inventors. Thank Mira Kostak for that.

Intellectual Spartans of Modern Technology and thought processes

‘’How about "Dream Creators’ Bash"?

Yeah I prefer InventFest (IF) over inventfair sort of like the Burning Man Festival in the nevada desert. It couldn’t be called Inventor Man, for example, because it’s not PC. Wait, or AIM-CON for Amerinvention Convention (yeah I know the M and the I are swapped but we’re inventors, we don’t have to follow the rules.)

Ralf,

Strictly from a marketing point of view, I would not use initials or abreviations that may hide the purpose of the event. The word ‘invent’ and any other word indicating it is a ‘show’ (show, expo, fair, etc) should be readily ascertained, as in:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/edisonnation/albums/444...

As for ‘fest’ v. ‘fair’ let’s go to the dictionary (dictionary.com):

fest
  /fɛst/ an assembly of people engaged in a common activity (often used in combination): filmfest; gabfest; love-fest; poetry fest.
-———————————————
fair.
3. an exposition in which different exhibitors participate, sometimes with the purpose of buying or selling: a science fair.

I think ‘fair’ might be stronger. We don’t want to appeal only to inventors, but we actually need to attract an audience: INDUSTRY.

Also, let’s not forget about the ‘world fair(s)’ that have imparted a global and massive connotation to the word ‘fair’

“American Innovator’s Expo”….mission statement “Where Ideas Begin”

Nice Susan! I talked to my NJ inventor’s group last night. They are established many many years. We have made some exciting contacts and have some commitments from interesting groups like angel investors that will also speak on how to pitch an idea.

My inventor group knows many in the area that pertains to inventors. Also talked to the President of UIA and President of Manhattan group. They will be there and also invite the people they know that are good for inventors to know.

Thanks Ron….You’re the Best – We appreciate you!

Thanks Susan but we are all the same…contributors to something we all love….inventing and just being leaders making something happen when the rest of the world watches. We are the new idea people, that bring new ideas to life…when the rest of the people will wait until they see it on TV.

We all can be equally proud of what we do and we all try our best making us all just part of a big team…Innovation America…or something like that.

We could have all chose the easy way…open a pizza store or something instead of pioneering something new.

Here’s a thought. How about an Everyday Edisons audition that day, at the same location ;-)
Could be a limited audition, only eligible to people attending the expo?

Holly…Edison Nation will be there. Louis said that they would have atleast someone there. I don’t know about a casting call but I know I will bring attention to the helpfulness of Edison Nation as well as attention to other resources that will help innovation and inventors by opinion of inventors that will not profit from their recommendations.

There will be a number of promoters planned year after year and they are NJ SBA, Kean University (hopefully other area colleges too), Edison Nation, Inventors Digest, NJ Inventors group and hopefully the Thomas Edison Foundation/museum as they will hopefully bring a “portable” museum. The UIA wants to really help too their President told me. Then there will be me. The idea here for me is if I don’t go on this show will with these people and my name will stay somewhere small as one of the founders of the show. My daughter will be reminded I did some good around here. It was my idea…or should I say I’m the one getting up to bring a mass of the inventor community together.

This country is in trouble! Worse than last year. Inventors and innovators need to come together once again with a good mix of patriotism and make big things happen like the historic innovators/inventors in the past. Hopefully this show will be set an example for all to see…..especially media…I’ll take care of that.

Ron, I spoke with 3 prototypers at the the PackWest show last week and the one I liked the most is in NY (the other 2 are in CA). If you would like his information, let me know. Maybe we should do this through e-mails – not sure if I should post his information here.

If you will e-mail an application for the show, I will fill it out and send the $100 for the booth.

oooops – wrong forum – what was the OTHER one called?

Hello Everyone I am a new inventor and member.

My idea for the name of your event is (Drum Roll)………

I am full of admiration & inspiration from all of your posts :)

Inventapolooza

How about something simple like Bright Ideas or Big Idea Expo 2010, it`s to the point and easy to remember.

Ron, how about “Innovation Nation”

Thanks…thanks…some names to think of. I think we have to have a name that keeps inventor as a basis, but allow and attract innovators AND be a national sounding event which it will be….and one last thing…encourage inventing, innovation as a whole for the U.S.

I had two names that I thought did that: I had (the) Inventors Ball 2010 “Celebrating yesterday and tomorrows innovations” (as an underlining promotion/marketing line) or Invention America Expo.

Both sound intriguing to visit (to me) rather than the Northeast Inventors show or something. A name too general will not work…we must still remain what we are…inventors…but not exclude great innovations

Ron, I think if you use the word ‘Ball’, you will discourage many who do not have evening clothes, black tie, etc. I would think it was a formal dance for inventors. I like your other idea, Invention America Expo – or America’s Invention Expo.

Ok Ron you just said it here is you name Inventors innovation Expo 2010, it says it all. It sounds so smooth.

Ron, the name is very important. Eventually, inventors will find out about the show. However, we all have read, heard or seen first hand about the very low attendance by industry and media at most if not all inventor shows lately.

Attracting tech scouts and other industry members is our ultimate goal. They are the audience needed to show our ideas to. If they don’t come, the show is just a nice gathering of peers. Just like preaching to the choir.

I would make it a priority to attract our target audience. The name should aggresively and succinctly say it all (mainly to our target audience: INDUSTRY). Media is also extremely important.

So, I want to remind you about my suggestions:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/edisonnation/albums/444...

OTHER POSSIBLE AGGRESIVE NAMES:

Invention MARKET (Innnovation Market)
InventMART
Invention Plaza (Innovation Plaza)
Invention Mall (Innovation Mall)
Inventrade

And if i may contradict myself for a second:

AIM /American Innovation Market

The show is to pitch inventions, to sell inventions, to succeed.

Good Luck, and GW I’ll be there, regardless of the name. Please, get me a corner booth :-)

Thank you Luis for all you have been supporting on this for a long time now. You take a deep analysis and then talk. That is the trick in this field I believe. Most come up very short in research across the board and that is why they fail…NOT because their idea is bad. I have noticed you do things in the correct depth in all you do to give yourself even a chance to pull off a win…VERY good…and to be respected.

For the show, what I want, the theme…is to network, truly enjoy meeting people as opposed to having to shine the best in an intense business gathering, to get us all some opportunity with media, companies, whatever we can do.

I don’t want this to be as much of a business meeting and sell or buy which inventor shows can be. Just more of a relaxed, less pressure where we all network…not a bunch of companies saying gimme your invention…you don’t know what your doing…let us take over and you pay us or let’s make a licensing deal…no….none of that…or scaled back.

What I want is us all to have the type of exposure that I had to become successful. The networking and media exposure and how to get that chance…just like I did. I will try my best to get media to this show…and people that can help.

That is one major reason why I respect and like Edison Nation. They don’t get in your face and push ANYTHING…or sell you stuff…insisting and insisting. They professionally offer what they have…you want it…fine…if not they will not push you and never are in your face every time you turn around…they pressure NOBODY.

That is what I want at this show and more towards a social…networking theme with much inventor meet inventor and share resources…rather than a business meet up with everyone trying to fatten their wallets. You do that on your own another day. I would like this show to celebrate our field, congratulate each other and support…and to network…without high pressure invention services too. Display who you are and what you do…but overall this will be a joyful meet and greet, network…and hopefully media will talk about ALL of us.

Ron,

Email me mark@obviousideasllc.com

Thanks

Mark

Thanks for the list Mark. You should really try to make this show. You have so much to offer. I really think one of those things you need to teach us is your product displays…WHICH CAN MEAN EVERYTHING…when bringing a product to market. I spent DAYS studying just about that!

Also, your vehicle wraps…I need to do that one of these days…when I get another vehicle.

Hopefully you can come, and promote what you want. It is an inventor’s show and a “fair field” for all to introduce who what where without stepping on anyone’s toes…it will be all fun! Big fun get together…we all get to meet many.

Ok, Ron. Keep us posted of developments and progress, and all the best!

hello I am new to this sight first day hello everyone…

I was thinking of a few all playing with the same concept of smart people thinking alike and coming together so here are some of my sugestions.

1) Bright Minds Expo
2) Creative Minds Connect
3) Innovative Mind Unite
4) Open Minds Connect
5) Visual Minds Expo

something like this and for the folding baking pan how about just (Foldapan) okay ciao for now…

Ron, Will there be an opportunity for those with a booth to donate a prize for a random drawing – a door prize?
