Sally Ramsey, founder of Ecology Coatings, will discuss the "happy accident" which led to her invention of waterproof paper. Sally, whose vision is to make as many products as possible to contribute to a less polluted world, created - by accident - a nanotechnology application with far reaching and broad based uses which has attracted enormous corporate and investor interest.

Sam Beiler, president and CEO of Auntie Anne's Pretzels, will discuss the "brilliant failure" which resulted in catapulting Auntie Anne's from one Farmers Market stand in 1988 to the widely recognized brand it has become today with over 940 locations worldwide.
