Congratulations, Scott Barnhill, on your amazing fountains!

Inspired by a Trip to England, Inventors Network Member, Scott Barnhill, created the Planter Fountain: an iconic way to meld the aesthetics of plants with the functionality and therapeutic value of a water feature.
“My fountains are something I make myself because they’re part of who I am. I make them for the same reason a bird flies and a fish swims.” – Scott

The Inventors Network of the Capitol Area has an event just for you!

 

INCA welcomes Ms. Anne Brewer, inventor, entrepreneur and military spouse from Virginia Beach, VA. Anne will take us through her “inventing journey” – from idea, to prototypes, to production, to promotion & marketing, through the PATENT, and trademarks – to Amazon and other retailers.

Anne’s “Made in America” product, the Wallabox, is a simple yet clever wall mountable cell phone holder. During this informal presentation, Ms Brewer will review how she started – with an idea in a porta-potty at a concert in 2014, and then pursued a patent, several trademarks and USA production, and Wallabox is now available from retailers, such as Amazon.

This free event is limited to only 50 spots!
When: Monday, January 25 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm EST
Where: Online!
