PDMA Announces Nationwide Search for Innovative Technologies



Innovators invited to demonstrate technologies in YouTube video contest

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - The Product Development and Management Association (PDMA), a global network for product innovation professionals, announces its first nationwide search for technologies to premier at the 34th Annual Global Conference on Product Innovation Management Technology Showcase October 16 - 18, 2010 in Rosen Shingle Creek, Orlando, Florida.

Participants are invited to submit a short video demonstrating their product innovation with a huge "WOW" factor on the PDMA YouTube Channel, where the public can view, comment and rate the technologies. The winning innovator will attend the PDMA Technology Showcase to gain exposure and compete for the prestigious "Best in Show" award.

"PDMA is thrilled to host its first online video contest," stated Sabina Gargiulo, Conference Director of the Product Development and Management Association. "We hope this nationwide search brings attention to new, exciting product technologies, and the role of the innovator within the product development process."

In November, 2009 PDMA debuted the Technology Showcase at its Global Conference in Anaheim, CA at the Disneyland Hotel. Immediate, enthusiastic reviews and positive reactions to the interactive Technology Showcase encouraged the PDMA Conference Committee to open participation to a nationwide search.

The winning innovator will receive one gratis admission to the 2010 Global Conference in Orlando, Florida, have the opportunity to demonstrate their technology to conference attendees, and receive voice of the customer insights from the leading thinkers in product development. In addition, the innovator will compete in the on-site "Best of Show" contest at the 2010 Global Conference. Innovators interested in participating can view the contest rules, guidelines and application instructions on the conference website: 2010conference.pdma.org.
