It’s hard to argue with TIME magazine—not that I’d know, because I’d never do that. But for those of you thinking about it, I’d think again, because they named SteriPEN as one of the “Best Inventions of the Year,” and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who disagrees.

As the first handheld water purifier, which uses ultraviolet light to destroy waterborne microbes, the SteriPEN will turn any glass of water, anywhere, into a safe, bacteria-free drink. The pen-like device uses the UV rays to eliminate more than 99.9% of viruses, bacteria and protozoa in just seconds. Ideal for international travelers (this means healthy attendees everywhere!) or outdoor enthusiasts, the pen is easy to travel with and it works with the push of a button. And for you sticklers out there, SteriPEN has been proven in independent testing to exceed the United States Environmental Protection Agency Standard for Microbiological Water Purifiers and has earned the Water Quality Association’s Gold Seal Certification.

Alright, enough stats and facts—there’s really no way to know how great the product is unless you try it yourself. So, if you’re reading this, consider yourself lucky, because our new friends at SteriPEN are giving away SteriPENs to three lucky Smart Meetings blog readers.
