There are some fantastic nominations for this years TAGIE awards. Any inventor - individual or group - should not miss the opportunity to see and hear what it takes to be successful and attend the ChiTag event next month. I am looking forward to meeting with many old and new faces at ChiTag and to help inspire more innovation and success in the Toy industry for new and old inventors!
