SUMMARY:Defining Your Audience: The Power of Buyer Personas
DESCRIPTION:What is a Buyer Persona? A buyer persona is a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer based on market research and real data about your existing customers.  \nMarketing to everyone the same way doesn’t work anymore. These in-depth personas help us relate to your customers uniquely and as real humans. Buyer personas can help you better understand who your customers are and how to best market to them.  \nThe goals of this hands-on workshop include developing clear definitions of your typical buyers\, a clear sense of the customer journey that customers take\, and how to generate marketing strategy to start marketing to the right people.

SUMMARY:Patent Filing Considerations
DESCRIPTION:Intellectual property is becoming increasingly important when it comes to business valuation as well as success – especially for tech companies. A well-developed patent portfolio (along with an intellectual property portfolio\, generally) conveys a high degree of technical and commercial sophistication to potential investors\, customers\, competitors\, and licensees. It also proves that you value investment in research and development and are prepared to take appropriate steps to protect those investments. To keep all of your patent options open (particularly\, outside of the U.S.)\, you must file a patent application before any public disclosure or commercialization of your invention takes place. The simplest first step is oftentimes filing a provisional application\, which could potentially be done yourself – assuming it’s done right!  \nThis presentation will focus on explaining patentability\, what should be put into a provisional application\, and what other information is needed to better ensure you properly protect your IP.
