The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) held the Eighth Annual Meeting of the NAI in Houston, TX, in April 2019. The event, whose theme was "Connecting the Innovation Community," consisted of lectures, presentations, and discussions on the most pressing issues facing academic invention today. In his State of the Academy address, Paul R. Sanberg, president of the NAI, discussed the year's advances, including two new initiatives launched in 2018: the Senior Members program and the Global Academic Inventors Network. He also provided updates on existing programs, such as the NAI Fellows program and the Chapter program.
