On Monday evening, October 23, 2017, the BPLA community came together to celebrate New England Inventors’ Day, proclaimed by Governor Charlie Baker, and to celebrate New England innovators, their inventions, and the stories behind their innovations. The event took place at the Exchange Conference Center on Boston’s Fish Pier in the Seaport District. The building features dramatic architecture, high ceilings, and spectacular panoramic views of Boston Harbor. The Emcee of the evening was Meghna Chakrabarti, who is host of The New York Times’ Modern Love: The Podcast; a co-host for WBUR’s Radio Boston, and primary fill-in host for WBUR’s Here & Now.

Following the presentation of the 12 certificates to each of the Honorees, the 4 Featured Honorees were asked to return to the stage, where they were awarded framed certificates for their inventions. This was followed by an interview session by Meghna. Each of the inventors told the story of their invention, explaining their particular “Aha moment” of when they realized that they were on to something very special. It was very exciting to hear these stories and to realize that these inventions could improve many people’s lives.
