Tampa Bay Inventors Council - www.tbic.us Weekly Meetup

Greetings Inventors!

This week the Tampa Bay Inventors Council is pleased to welcome Marcy McKenna to Zoom with un on Wednesday October 28th. Born into a family of inventors (her great grandfather invented the delay mechanism for the bomb in WWII), she’s been dreaming up products for as long as she can remember. Marcy’s mind was always racing with ideas. I was obsessed with finding better ways to do anything and everything.

In 2010, she became the winning inventor on Kelly Ripa’s reality TV venture, Homemade Millionaire. It was the experience of a lifetime and gave her the courage to follow her dream of becoming a successful inventor. Product innovation became my passion and a way of life, yes, officially a nerdy inventor!

After bringing several product innovations to life on HSN, QVC and in big box retail nationwide, She partnered with a popular online retailer to help them build their Travel category from the ground up. Being an inventor, she saw a void in the market and quickly became obsessed with the idea of developing affordable luggage and travel accessories that would be incredibly chic and stylish, while also keeping us meticulously organized and efficient when we’re on the go. And Travel Essentials by Marcy McKenna was born.

This Wednesday, Marcy will join us to share tips on Inventing on a shoestring budget and How to know if you BIG idea has the potential to be a profitable product. These are things that she has learned from experience and I’m sure will be good advice for many of our inventors.

Please join the Tampa Bay Inventors Council this Wednesday, October 28th from 6:30 to 7:30 and learn from a successful inventor. Sign on as early as 6:15 and we get set to chat with Marcy.

Mark your calendar and set an alarm to join us! Please RSVP to Join our zoom meeting!
See you then!
