Dear Colleagues, We’ve got a great program shaping up for our joint regional meeting with the Southeast Region this October. On Wednesday, October 25, we’ll hear about recent EPA technology transfer efforts. We’ll also have presentations from startups that successfully commercialized laboratory technologies, and a presentation about one of the Air Force’s educational outreach programs. Wednesday night’s networking program at the Hermitage promises to be both entertaining and informative.
Thursday’s program is all about patenting strategies and what you can do to increase the commercialization potential of your technology portfolio. On Thursday we’ll also have a discussion of case study hypotheticals and the awards luncheon. I’m particularly excited that the Midwest Region will be presenting awards this year. In addition to the awards from both the Midwest and Southeast regions, the luncheon features Bobby Fulcher, a noted folk music historian. Friday’s program includes presentations from some of the agencies in our regions regarding how they prioritize technologies for commercialization. We’ll also have a presentation on how laboratory/university partnerships can succeed and a brief regional meeting. Please don’t forget to register for the meeting. I hope to see you all in October! Cynthia Wesolowski
