Coming Soon: Announcing the 2020 Class of Inductees

Exciting news is just around the corner!
 

A New Class Will Be Revealed

For the second year in a row, the National Inventors Hall of Fame^® (NIHF) will announce its 2020 class of Inductees at CES^® (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas.

CES is an annual trade show organized by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) that announces new technologies and celebrates innovation. This January, NIHF will be making its Inductee announcement live from the event.

This group of visionary innovators has advanced some of the world’s most groundbreaking and influential technologies. Each Inductee is a U.S. patent holder who has made a significant impact on society, and their acceptance into NIHF is kept entirely confidential until the official announcement is made.
