Today is the official start of the 24th annual INPEX Invention Trade Show! INPEX takes place today until Saturday (June 14th) at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh – and, boy, do we have a lot going on!

Along with our ribbon-cutting ceremony this afternoon, we also have a keynote speech from Famous Wally Amos. The Robert Bosch Tool Corporation will be on hand as exhibitors present their tool inventions, while “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” will film exhibitor demonstrations for a segment on the show. And, at night, exhibitors and attendees alike will head out to the ball park to watch the Pirates play at PNC Park!

On Thursday, exhibitors will be presenting their inventions to representatives from Hasbro, Irwin Tools and Tupperware in private product reviews. While “The Tonight Show” continues to film exhibitors, we’ll also welcome Scott Draughon – who will broadcast his MyTechnologyLawyer radio program LIVE from the INPEX show floor.

By Friday, things are in full swing. MyTechnologyLawyer will continue to interview inventors, and Hasbro’s search for toy and game products will resume. Friday also has scheduled new product searches from Response Magazine, Full Life Products and Everlast. And, Friday night marks the return of the 3rd annual Black & Gold Everlast Invitational Boxing Tournament – always a big hit with the crowd!

Saturday, the show opens to the general public from 11am to 3pm. And, after that, it’s off to the INPEX International Awards Dinner, where inventors will find out if they took home a gold, silver or bronze medal, or one of the top cash prizes!

We really have a fantastic show lined up this year and I thank everyone who helped us put it together!
