Pitch Practice In Person Roundtable (FREE)

Saturday, August 30, 11-1pm CST

You hopefully attended our pitch perfect webinar and learned the makings of a solid pitch. Since then, you’ve developed your own. Now boost your confidence by practicing your pitch alongside your fellow conference attendees in a low-key, friendly environment. During this one-hour in person roundtable, you’ll have a chance to read your pitch, have it timed and hear the pitches of fellow attendees. Please note that this meetup is designed to help you become comfortable with delivering your pitch so you’re ready when it’s time to do it officially in front of the industry professional at the conference. While you may get feedback from fellow attendees, this discussion should not be considered an critique of your pitch. NOTE: Pitches are for STORY only, not illustrations.
