Registration is required to attend this free event. Open to members and not-yet-members. Click HERE.
March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate women’s innovation, creativity and impact across industries. From groundbreaking inventions to iconic brands, women have shaped history by turning ideas into protected, powerful IP.

Are you developing a prototype and need a 3D printed piece to test? Maybe you’re researching options for a patent or looking to establish a trademark for your next big idea?

Join the WiT Denver Chapter on Monday, March 16th for a private guided tour of the Denver Public Central Library, home to the ideaLAB maker space and one of only two US Patent and Trademark Office resource libraries in Colorado. From 4:30–6:00pm, we’ll explore the maker space where materials, software, and machines such as 3D printers, an audio recording studio, sewing machines and Cricut can help bring concepts to life and level up prototypes.

We’ll then be introduced to the Patent and Trademark Resource Center, one of only two in the state. Protecting and monetizing IP through patents or securing a brand with trademarks both start with research, and the Central Library offers tools and expertise to help women innovators take that next step with confidence.

Land Acknowledgement: The Owl and The Hourglass would like to acknowledge the indigenous history of the Denver and Colorado region as native to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Tribes. The 1851 Fort Laramie Treaty and 1861 Fort Wise Treaty reduced the land and forcibly relocated the Arapaho and Cheyenne. The 1864 Sand Creek Massacre and the murder of over 230 Cheyenne and Arapaho women, children, and elderly by 675 U.S. volunteer soldiers commanded by Colonel John M. Chivington drove all native population from the Denver area, formally acknowledged by the State of Colorado, written by Justice Greg Hobbs, Colorado Supreme Court on the 150th Anniversary as

“an incalculably important admission—that non-Native settlement of the eastern half of Colorado became possible through the coerced cession of Arapaho and Cheyenne homelands.”

We respect and honor the ancestors, the living descendants, the land, and the life sustained in this place and the creative force that sustains our life and work. Art and learning are the foundations of my work, and I am inspired by this place and native peoples. Next time you are down by the Denver Art Museum, give fresh eyes to the outdoor sculpture Wheel, by Cheyenne-Arapaho artist Hock E Aye Vi, Edgar Heap of Birds.
