After its success within the inventors’ community, POP founder Mary Couzin looked for a way to bring the same level of insight and education to the industry’s marketing executives and, along with Michele Litzky (LPR), asked other agency and brand representatives to form a committee that could identify speakers of interest to the group along with topics that could be important conversation starters.

After a survey asking marketing and PR pros about the need for a regular events where they could learn, share and network, the results were unanimous!  So, SAVE THE DATE – APRIL 21^st--  for the kick-off event!  there was a need for a regular event where marketing and pr pros could learn, share and network

Some of the session topics for the first event will include:
