Yesterday I was at the Connect San Diego event, sponsored by Mintz Levin P.C.
Every month of May, I would make a trip to NYC to visit my friend Cindy of Origami Bijou. We would hit all the cool design events of NY Design Week and discover new product designs at ICFF. But this year, I could not make it because we have 3 trips lined up back to back.
It turns out that I don’t have to travel far to discover cool new products! This Connect event had many peeps from the life sciences and tech companies. Held at a large outdoor courtyard, with life music and great food from The Wild Thyme Company, a slew of new companies showcased their latest wares. And there were 3 companies that stood out …
The first one is Sovereign Earth. Steve Hess, the president of SE was kind enough to go over their latest innovation in portable water filtration technology with me. You can filter water everywhere you go! (Joe and I would love to get a couple when we go hiking/camping). I want a yellow bottle. Talk about avoiding the hassle of boiling water when camping, or using a tiresome pump filtration system or using non eco-friendly plastic water bottles. This time you have a choice!
The second company is Cleatskins. I have always found myself annoyed, walking around the gym in my spinning shoes. With Cleatskins, you can slip the skins over the cleats! You have to watch their funny video!
And the last company is Elliptigo. If I hadn’t chugged down my beer or wore my heels, I would have taken this 8S model for a test ride.
And all this – in sunny San Diego!!
