OPENING KEYNOTE

Inventor of the Year

Woody Norris, Inventor and Futurist

Woody Norris is a visionary. He looks into the future, gathers insights into how life could be improved, and applies what he finds to the problems of today. In the world of invention, only one in 2,000 patent applications actually issues as a patent, the rest are rejected. Yet Woody holds more than 50 U.S. patents and 300 around the world - and the number grows each year. He has won numerous awards including the prestigious $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize, which is the inventor's equivalent to an Academy Award. He is perpetually in the midst of multiple wide-ranging projects, all of which involve technology. Early poverty and the lack of a college education were never barriers to Woody. He has always found ways to innovate by using technology to "do more with less." In this fascinating keynote, he will describe why he is convinced that the future holds unimaginable wonders in store for us. His enthusiasm is infectious, and as he often says, "It's a great time to be alive!"
