Inventors Network of the Capital Area

Inventors Network of the Capital Area We are a group of independent inventors that network with each other to share our experience about any stage of the invention process.

The Inventors Network of the Capital Area (INCA) is a non-profit educational organization founded in 1993. Our members are both novices and experts with experience in patents, the innovation process, prototyping, licensing, product design, manufacturing, marketing, and other areas of product development. Every month we host a meeting with a speaker and time for experienced and beginning inventors

to network. Private sector speakers at past meetings have included successful inventors, and experts in: marketing, branding, patenting, licensing, prototyping, venture capital, and entrepreneurship. Speakers at previous meetings have also included officials from the US Patent & Trademark Office of Independent Inventor Programs and representatives of government small business assistance programs. For more details on past speakers and meeting topics see the Past Meetings page on our website. Meetings are open to the public. We invite you to attend our next meeting to participate in networking over pizza, snacks, and drinks. If you are interested in speaking at an upcoming meeting, or would like to recommend a speaker, visit our Speakers page on our website.
