MEETING TOPIC:

How to Prepare a PowerPoint Presentation

Now matter what kind of invention you're working on, at some point you'll need to give a presentation to a potential investor, partner, manufacturer, distributor or retail outlet. And PowerPoint is the way to do it. We'll learn how to set up a PowerPoint presentation, from starting up the program to laying out the presentation with text and graphics to actually giving the presentation.

Meeting starts promptly at 6:30, so please arrive on time.

Comment by Daniel Leuck on December 4, 2012 at 6:01pm

Then your best bet is a school. UH Manoa and KCC sometimes host meetups like this, especially if they provide an opportunity for students to attend and mix with industry. You need to find a friendly professor in a related field. There are numerous ICS and Engineering profs in the TechHui community. I'd poke around in the members area.

UHM and KCC don't have the greatest parking situation, but they have everything else you listed.

Another possibility is the Manoa Innovation Center. They have a classroom and may be willing to host something like this. There is plenty of street parking around MIC. HTDC's (the agency that manages MIC) director is Yuka Nagashima.

I forgot to include "free" in the list of requirements. Our club is strictly a volunteer effort and we charge no dues, so there's little to no money to pay to rent a space. The Box Jelly charges $100 per hour.

Comment by Daniel Leuck on December 4, 2012 at 4:12pm

Hi Roger - Its hard to find all those things in one place locally. For everything other than the classroom environment I would try TheBoxJelly. They host many tech events, meetups, etc. 

Comment by Roger Garrett on December 4, 2012 at 2:21pm

Our club needs a meeting place. Ideally it has a classroom environment, access to electric and Internet, is easily accessible, has plenty of free parking, and is available on a regular monthly basis. Anyone having any suggestions please let us know.

PRESENTER BIO

Danny Macias

Danny Macias is a transplant from Los Angeles, currently living in Kailua. He is relatively new to the world of inventing, with two Provisional Patent Applications filed, and he's busy pushing his products through the commercialization stages. When not focusing on product development, he enjoys stand up paddling, reading philosophy texts on ethics and analysis, and anything Larry David.

As independent inventors, we have so many little tasks and sub-tasks that need to get done, and many times it all needs to get done on a budget. I would like to offer something of practical value in the inventive process, to help you along the way toward your goals.

SEPTEMBER INVENTION DISCUSSION GROUP

Thursday, September 27th

7 pm

The Pacific Club

1451 Queen Emma Street
Honolulu, HI

WHAT IT IS

The Hawaii Inventors Club offers a special service to its members, which is separate from the monthly meetings. It's an opportunity to get together with a small group of fellow inventors to openly discuss your, or a fellow member's, particular invention. The idea is that we all need feedback on our inventions and can benefit from the experience of other inventors. Besides, it's just plain fun talking about our inventions.

The usual monthly meetings host a lot of great speakers and provided lots of valuable information about the overall invention process. This Invention Discussion Group allows members to discuss their own specific inventions and get advice specific to their unique issues and concerns.

HOW IT WORKS

Each person who attends an Invention Discussion Group meeting is welcome to present your own invention or to participate in the discussion of other members' inventions, with the objective of providing helpful feedback and advice.

 

YOUR PRESENTATION

If you plan to present your invention at the meeting please note that it need not be elaborate, perfected, or polished. It could be just a verbal description of what you have in mind. If you have a prototype, show it. If you have drawings or charts or pictures, bring them. The objective is to provide enough information about it so that the other members can understand it and hopefully offer helpful advice.

WHERE

The meetings are held at The Pacific Club. 1451 Queen Emma Street, Honolulu, HI.

We meet at the tables under the large cabana by the pool. There is no dress code enforced in this area of the club, so casual dress is fine. There will be water, peanuts & chips at no cost (provided by our Vice President, Kathy Custer).

Getting to the pool area is easy. Enter on the cement walking path to the right of the club main building, that goes alongside the paddle courts. The path will lead you to the pool cabana where we will be meeting.

Please arrive promptly for the start of the meeting. See the map at the end of this email.

 

MAP

Enter from Queen Emma Street. On the right of the main building, to the left of the tennis courts, follow the sidewalk to the back of the facility, to the swimming pool area. You'll find us in the courtyard at the back of the pool.
