Do you have a great idea?  Are you ready to show potential investors?

At the July 8 meeting of the Inventors and Entrepreneurs Club, join Renee Surdick and Terese Wentworth from the University of Wisconsin-Stout’s Center for Innovation and Development to hear about what services are available there, including a new program called “Idea to Prototype.”

The meetings are free and no reservations are required. Whether you have an idea or just like to think business, join in for a dynamic evening of networking with lots of creative people. Everyone is welcome.
