Idea Fetch - because you can never have TOO many ideas

Please join us - we are co-sponsoring an event with the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA). PDMA is the premier global advocate for product development and management professionals. Their mission is to improve the effectiveness of individuals and organizations in product development and management. For more information about PDMA, you can visit their website at www.pdmamn.org

About the Topic:
Ideas can come from anywhere: development, manufacturing, marketing, sales, suppliers, etc., but capturing your customer's ideas is one of the  richest sources of new product and product extension ideas.

On July 19th, we have invited Ideas to Go to present a case study on their new electronic idea capturing tool, Idea Fetch. Idea Fetch is a new approach to both idea generation and corporate promotion that harnesses the power of the internet to allow an almost unlimited number of people to  submit their best thinking on new and improved products or services.  Not only that, customers also help select the best ideas in the bunch.

This event is co-sponsored with Product Development and Management Association.  There will be an opportunity to network and enjoy food and drink and the stunning views at the University of Minnesota Campus Club.


Registration: Please register by emailing bethere@pdmamn.org that you will attend.
