Event Details

Intellectual property laws often demand that inventions be kept secret.  Think of the law of patent and trade secret.  There can drastic consequences if you let ideas out of the box at the wrong place or time (such as loss of patentabilty).  But there are drastic consequences of secrecy as well as in: no one can help you develop the idea and no one may ultimately care.  Balancing the goals of secrecy and collaboration will be the main topic (of debate and discussion).

Lunch from "Freaky Fast" Jimmy John's included. (Yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch!)
