SUMMARY:Sell Your Product Ideas
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4869044/ ] Featured Speaker
 Alan Adler\, Inventor and CEO of Aerobie\, Inc.\, will share his experience licensing and venturing his product ideas
 During the 70's and early 80's while working as a consulting engineer and teaching part time at Stanford University\, Alan Adler invented toys in his spare time and licensed his ideas to toy companies. Alan was also an avid sailor who taught himself aerodynamics in order to be able to design sailboats. His love of inventing toys and his new found knowledge of aerodynamics led him into the pursuit of better flying toys.
  
 Alan designed and built the first prototype of the Aerobie ring with its spoiler rim that balances lift over a wide range of throwing speeds in early 1984. The first throw of the Aerobie ring on Roble Field at Stanford showed Alan he had something special. The ring flew straight and true for an incredible distance\, "as if sliding on an invisible sheet of ice." 
 Alan knew the Aerobie ring could be a hit. He also knew the flying performance of the Aerobie ring was going to be dependent on maintaining aerospace quality standards in the manufacturing processes. He therefore founded Superflight\, Inc. (now Aerobie\, Inc.) in 1984 to manufacture and sell his high performance sport toy inventions beginning with the Aerobie flying ring. For its first 20 years of existence\, Aerobie Inc. was officially named Superflight\, Inc. However\, in recognition of the fact that all of the products were named Aerobie and everybody knew the company as Aerobie\, as of 2005\, his company's name is officially Aerobie\, Inc.
  
 The company is still owned by Alan and he still works on inventing new\, exciting sport toys. He now manufactures thirteen Aerobie brand products and sells them through retailers throughout the United States and to distributors in over thirty countries. All Aerobie brand sport toys are known for their extraordinary performance and quality. His warehousing\, packing\, and shipping are all done in San Carlos\, California.

SUMMARY:Green and Clean Evening Series: How Green are You Going to Be?
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4865051/ ] The greening of our society has been under way for well over a decade and changing our language along the way.  The rise of consumers becoming Eco-frugal or going for Eco-status by tuning into Eco-vertising leads the market and entrepreneurs to believe we've shifted from a 'fad' to fundamental changes to our lifestyle.  Is that true or a bunch of green washing?  The real question is whether the 'tipping point' has been reached in the greening of the American consumer and is their purchasing behavior mirroring their new found green values.
