K&L Gates LLP and the Greater Washington Board of Trade welcome Larry Bock, creator and executive director of the USA Science & Engineering Festival. Mr. Bock, a nationally known serial entrepreneur, will discuss the upcoming national science festival, expected to be the largest in world history, which will take place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. and around the country in October 2010.
The USA Science & Engineering Festival will excite the interest of hundreds of thousands of students in scientific disciplines with a variety of engaging demonstrations, exhibitions, labs and seminars. Modeled after Mr. Bock's 2009 festival in San Diego during which more than 200,000 people participated in 500 exhibits and events, the national festival already has more than 500 event sponsors and contributing partners, including colleges & universities, professional societies, federal agencies, Nobel laureates, and corporations. Opportunities for additional interested parties to participate in the festival will be discussed.
