    Ian MacDonald - "BRINGING PRODUCTS TO MARKET".
    Ian will talk about idea, prototype, product, developing sales, and sell-off of the entire product line cycle.
    Ian has successfully invented a product called TABLE SHOX. www.tableshox.com. With that idea he formed a company, built up sales to a point that he received an offer to sell the company to an American competitor. That was 18 months ago.
    Now, Ian has gone onto developing other products.
