Subscribe to Our Mailing List

Once a month, we have a meeting with a presentation about something invention related. Sometimes it's the creative part, like how someone came up with an idea. Sometimes it's the legal parts, like protection, patents, trademark, & licensing. Manufacturing comes up a lot, and so does marketing. We always enjoy our speakers, and we always learn from them. Questions are always encouraged, and our speakers share insights you can't get anywhere else. Before the meeting, you can visit with other inventors. New faces are always welcome, and if you have questions about invention or patents or marketing or ... there are usually members who can help guide you.

Have A Toy Or Game Invention & Need The Best Marketing Approach?
Learn From The Expert!
Matt Nuccio

Matt Nuccio, a renowned inventor, designer and professional in the toy and game industry, will present the attributes of licensing versus venturing (self-producing) a toy or game invention and the best approach to take for success in the marketplace.

In addition, he will discuss how the toy and game industry is different from other industries, which type of toy/game and price range have the greatest potential for success, typical toy and game lifespans and other details common in the toy and game industry but not generally known by inventors.
