Newly located in the Clean, Contain & Sustain expo, The Inventors Corner pavilion features 60 booths showcasing new housewares innovations and just-ready-for-market inventions—giving you a first look at cutting edge products and ideas. Attendees love this one-stop-shopping concept, making the Inventors Corner Pavilion one of the hottest destination points at the International Home + Housewares Show!
Hosted by the United Inventors Association and sponsored by Invention Home, Inventors Corner also features the Inventors Revue where you can watch as these fledgling marketers present their ideas to panels of Housewares professionals for feedback and advice and hopefully to capture their interest. On Sunday, three panels of “As Seen on TV” marketing experts will provide insights on TV marketing. On Monday, three panels of “Pitch to the Pros” experts including professionals from companies like SkyMall, Evriholder, Lifetime Brands and Lakeland Catalogs will review products and offer suggestions for getting to the next level.
