Wrapping up the day, Dr. Mike North of Discovery Channel’s “Prototype This!” will deliver the closing keynote, after which awards will be given for the “Most Likely to Succeed” in each of the six presenting categories. Presenters will be available to showcase their companies and products in the exhibition hall, which is open for networking, deal making, and interviews between presentations.
