Athol has over 16 years of experience helping clients name companies, products, services, and taglines. Athol’s opening remarks will be followed by a question and answer session on developing the right name.

Two of Athol’s more famous names are Symbian, an operating system for cell phones, and Solyndra, a manufacturer of photovoltaic systems for commercial rooftops. There are a number of excellent articles on the Brighter Naming website, one that would be of particular interest to software entrepreneurs is “The Challenges of Software Product Naming.”
