Williamsport Inventor’s Club
The Williamsport Inventor’s Club is a forum to help inventors turn their ideas into commercially viable products. The Club offers a structured meeting environment and provides valuable information to members based on interests and topics that provide clarity to inventors.
Members understand and utilize a world-class product development process, and are invited to request an opportunity to present their idea to the group in a club-recommended format to gather unbiased feedback from other members.
How does the Inventor’s Club work?
- The Club is an informal association with no legal ties to any group, but receives support and encouragement from the Williamsport/Lycoming Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ) hosted by IMC, Inc. and from SCORE.
- Membership is open to anyone who agrees to the organization’s values.
- Meetings are generally held on the 4th Wednesday of every month, but may change due to availability of guest speakers, etc.
- Individuals who are interested in attending a meeting for the first time are asked to come 15 minutes prior to the meeting start time for an introduction and orientation session hosted by the Club President.
