Please feel free to download our Notes and Power Point presentations on the Product Development Conference held in Calgary


Conference Notes:

Tuesday November 30, 1999 - 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Target Market:
To provide corporations, professionals and individuals with a full understanding of the product development process from concept to production and successful launch.

Purpose:
The Product Development Conference is a proactive approach that brings together specialists and clients in all fields relating to producing a product or idea. The main focus is to educate companies, professionals and individuals in understanding the process rather than to fall into the common problem of focussing in on one area and neglecting other equally important issues. This is intended to promote the industry as a whole and to help minimise development, marketing and commercialisation roadblocks. Professionals and experts from different backgrounds will share their expertise and insights in the following areas:
