The Williamsport Inventor’s Club is a forum to help inventors turn their ideas into commercially viable products.
Inventor’s Club Values
- Experience
The sharing of members’ experiences can help others move their project along. - Feedback
Receiving constructive feedback from fellow inventors provides insights and possible ways to improve members’ ideas and projects. - Education
Inventors need to learn from experts who can help them avoid pitfalls and scams. - Confidentiality
Inventors can share their innovative ideas without fear or hesitation as all who attend meetings must sign a nondisclosure agreement.
