What: The Cool Product Expo showcases the latest, coolest products designed by top manufacturers, startups, design firms and academic groups.

- Ready--end user products, not components.
- Factor--coolness is readily apparent, requires no explanation.
- Edge--radically new, not just an improvement on an existing product.
- Function--the essential combination of design and manufacturing.
