It’s pretty common that a product will need a showcase in order to become visible and obtain broad appeal, and then be able to successfully make its way to market. If the inventor plans on establishing his own distribution lines (website sales, local shops…) then this topic probably won’t be of high interest, however if the inventor is searching for support, then the invention convention route is an established tool that can benefit him.
There are two types of conventions available:
• Cyber-conventions – Online sites that will showcase your product like www.inventionconvention.com
• Tradeshow Conventions – Conventions located in a particular city where you register as an exhibitor with a booth presenting your product. For example INPEX (Invention/ New Product Exposition) at www.inventionhshow.com
Here are a couple other links to conventions or sites that have convention information:
