2006 Greater Cincinnati Inventor's Fair
You are invited to submit your product to be considered as a participant in the 2006 Greater Cincinnati Inventor’s
Fair, to be held Tuesday, May 16 at the Montgomery Inn Conference Center. The Fair, organized in conjunction with the
ICC, will feature select inventions that represent the creative spirit of today.
The 2005 Inventor’s Fair was highly successful. Based on presenting at the Fair, one product is currently
in licensing/funding negotiations. Other benefits attendees say they received include: excellent media coverage; increased
credibility; securing new clients; learning what the venture/angel capital industry looks for; and a general increase in confidence
and input from the experience.
Please provide a one-page Executive Summary on your patented or patent-pending product, including the following
information, no later than Friday, March 24. You will be notified as to your participation the week of April 3.
If your product is chosen to participate, you will present a 3-minute summary to attendees, including venture
& angel capitalists, attorneys, bankers, manufacturers, the media, and others in the product development industry. In
order to present, you must attend a short training session on how to present to the investor market. This session will be
held the week of April 17.
Thank you for your interest, and good luck!
