Speed Networking

Hosted jointly with the Consulting Alliance

Want to expand your network and/or deepen your networking relationships?

Speed Networking is a method for you to accomplish these goals, efficiently!

Speed networking is a fun chance to meet lots of peers from diverse business and cultural backgrounds, and start dialogues that can lead to meaningful professional and social connections. It’s also a great, no-pressure opportunity to hone your “elevator speech” and listening skills so you can be prepared for those times when a fast, good first impression is crucial.

Rochester Professional Consultants Network (RPCN, the place for entrepreneurial consultants in Rochester and Finger Lakes region to start and expand their business) and the Consulting Alliance (an Albany-area association of leading independent consultants with diverse regional and national experience and proven success in solving client challenges) both have long histories and strong membership. There is synergy between these organizations, and this is a great opportunity to get to know each other and share ideas and make new personal and business connections!

Presentation Overview:

Many people come up with a great idea for something novel. But they don’t know how to get that idea made, marketed, and sold. While those topics are beyond the scope of this presentation, you will learn how to protect that idea with a patent while you’re figuring-out the rest of it.

While a patent could be a great tool to have, there are some ‘do’s and don’ts’ that you should know before you try to get a patent. At this talk, you will get the following:

Key Learning #1: Learn what is patentable and how to obtain a patent if you have a patentable idea.

Key Learning #2: Actions to take to help keep your invention patentable.

Key Learning #3:Actions to avoid because they might make your invention un-patentable.
