Collaboration is essential for the success of many ideas, inventions  
and start-ups. Although ideas may initially be crafted individually,  
their realization is usually due in part to a collaborative effort  
along the way. For inventors and businesspeople, good collaborations  
have come to be highly valued and sought after, yet are often  
difficult to find. As issues of intellectual property abound, it may  
be difficult to determine who to trust and at what stage of the game.
Please join us as we address the topic of collaboration in invention  
as it particularly relates to women. Our panelists will draw upon  
their experiences to touch upon topics like how to form good  
collaborations and how to end ineffective ones.
