Roadshows
Roadshows are private, confidential sessions, and only you, your guest(s), and BIG panelists will see your idea. You will be given a few minutes to set up in one of our private showrooms (we usually stage our events in hotel conference rooms). Please note that we generally do NOT have TVs, VCRs, or computers available. You will have approximately 10 to 20 minutes per invention with the advisory panel and may present up to three inventions. (If you have more ideas than that, please let us know and we may be able to book additional time for you.) Make sure you are well prepared. During the showing, review the key points about your idea as quickly and clearly as possible. Besides asking questions, panel members might make comments and suggestions.
You should bring the following with you:
We also prefer but don't require that you submit the following:
- Competitive research and patent research
- Visual or prototype, if possible--even a rough sketch is welcomed
- Any information on patents that you have obtained
Phone-In Events
You should prepare for a Phone-in Event just as you would for a Roadshow submission. The one difference is that all required materials must be received by BIG--via mail or fax--prior to scheduling your conference call.
