InventHelp’s INPEX at the 2010 Home and Housewares ShowAs many of you know, I often travel to many industry trade shows across the country to meet with potential INPEX exhibitors and business attendees. I recently returned from the International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago where INPEX and InventHelp® had the opportunity to exhibit in the Inventor’s Corner, along with 30 other inventors with new housewares products.

During the three day show, I was pleased to present one inventor with a free INPEX booth for our upcoming show June 16-18. The winners, Chuck and Kristina Beyer, of Columbus, Ohio, received a free 10-foot by 10-foot booth space, as well as two free passes to the INPEX Inventor’s University. The Beyers will be exhibiting their invention, The Calendar Clutch, at our 25th anniversary show.

Congratulations Chuck and Kristina!
