26th announced talk of the 2012 IdeaWave conference is by Rhona McAdam who will be speaking on CSA: The Acronym of our Time

We’re excited to announce our 25th speaker returning from Seattle, Helen Cook will be speaking on her idea, Do you say yes to the demon?

Happy to announce another IdeaWave vet, and a Victoria inventor (rare, mostly innovators these days!) worth paying attention to, Brian White will be speaking on Citizen Science: opportunities and hazards in a patented world.

Some people might find this talk really out there, but we’re excited to announce Nigel Syrotuck’s talk on Student-Built Nano-Satellites.

As the talks keep rolling in on the week before the conference, they’re definitely not less interesting. Don’t miss Mark McLaughlin’s anticipated talk on Mind Mapping – Phantom Limbs & the Left Handed Centipede
