Invention Convention

Come see the future on display today at the Colorado Inventor Showcase, where dozens of inventors and entrepreneurs will exhibit tomorrow’s innovations in everything from software to alternative energy. The showcase is hosted by the DaVinci Institute, “a group of visionaries that do events to help inventors and entrepreneurs create the future instead of predicting it,” explains organization vice president Deb Frye. “We do it for the inventors. They need a venue to showcase their ideas and inventions. We've always had inventors asking us what to do with their inventions. The showcase came out of that.”
