The InventHelp® and INPEX® team will be heading to Las Vegas September 21-23 for the second year in a row to organize the InventHelp – INPEX New Product Showcase at ERA’s annual convention.

ERA’s D2C show is billed as the only trade show dedicated to direct response retail sales on TV, radio and online. It will be held this year at the Wynn Hotel, which is a beautiful new hotel and a great location for some of the biggest companies in direct response to converge for three days.

If you have an invention or new product that you think would be a good fit on TV, contact INPEX at (888) 54-INPEX to find out how you can exhibit with us in the InventHelp – INPEX New Product Showcase.

See you in Vegas!

With INPEX® 2010 finally here, we’re excited to announce the launch of our INPEX® 2010 iPhone app, a free app that users can download to their phones to receive up-to-the-minute information about INPEX® 2010.

Created by ATIV software, using a cool new platform called EventPilot, all of the INPEX® 2010 information is at your fingertips in seconds!

The app features a detailed show floor plan, a schedule of events, including show floor hours and INPEX® Inventor’s University™ information, with classroom locations, seminar times and speaker bios. It also gives business attendees a complete list of exhibitor names, invention names and booth numbers.

With 10 product reviews happening at INPEX® this year, (that’s our most yet), exhibitors and attendees can get information about product search rooms, schedules and times. The app also features live Twitter updates, and gives the user the capability to take notes or flag events, exhibits or sessions that they liked.

“Attending INPEX with over 250 exhibitors requires careful planning to find the next new product. Our interactive mobile conference platform EventPilot enables attendees to navigate and manage a large event like this effectively while the organizers save printing costs and can update program changes on the fly.” said Silke Fleischer, Founder and CEO of ATIV Software. “With Twitter integration, inventors and attendees for the first time have the opportunity to engage in a much larger conversation that extends beyond the show floor.”

Users can install the app for free to their iPhone, Touch or iPad directly from The iTunes Store, and the app can be downloaded onto Blackberry or Android phones by visiting this site, http://www.ativsoftware.com/apps/

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to download this app, and have all of the information about INPEX® 2010 waiting for you with just the touch of a button!
 
See you at the show!

Hello again!

I’m back with more breaking news about this year’s Invention and New Product Exposition (INPEX). Another company has signed on to conduct a product review at the 2008 INPEX Invention Show.

For those of you unfamiliar with the show, certain companies, rather than just walk the show floor, set up areas to have inventors with applicable inventions come to them and demonstrate and explain their new products. Some of the companies already signed on to conduct product reviews at this year’s show include Everlast®, Hasbro, Tupperware® and the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation.

Now, we’re adding IRWIN® Industrial Tools to the lineup. IRWIN® Industrial Tools manufactures and distributes professional grade hand tools and power tool accessories to trade professionals worldwide. IRWIN Industrial Tools’ portfolio features brands such as IRWIN®, Vise-Grip®, Marathon®, Quick-Grip®, Speedbor®, Strait-Line®, Unibit®, and Hanson®.

Inventors with tool inventions who exhibit at INPEX can sign up to show their new products to representatives from IRWIN® tools for feedback and consideration in their product lines. If you have a tool invention you think would be applicable for review by IRWIN® TOOLS, call 888-INPEX or request more info.

With both Bosch and IRWIN on hand, any inventor with a tool or hardware invention should not miss out on the opportunities at this year’s show!!
