This past weekend (April 6 and 7) was One Spark – an idea fest meant for entrepreneurs to seek feedback and interest for their concepts and creations. One Spark’s goal is to foster an environment of creativity and innovation.
Over 60 different creators had booths lined up in Daily’s Place with demonstration and pitches ready to show their stuff.Amongst the creators and vendors was the Wilson Dutra team. Not only were we one of the sponsors for this event,we walked around giving out intellectual property quiz questions with prizes!
