July 7th, 2009. Buzz 400 to come up to WorkSpace.
- 6pm – 6:10pm Introductions
- 6:10pm – 6:30pm 30 second pitches (non scheduled pitches) + voting + networking
- 6:30pm – 7:15pm featured presentations
- 7:15pm – 8:00pm 5 x 6 minute pitches
The event is free but requires registration as we have limited space at WorkSpace. If you want to present, please pick a Pitch Presenter ticket and fill out a short description of your concept.
Registered Pitch Presenters
All registered pitch presenters get a 30 second pitch to the crowd. After everyone pitches, the crowd votes on who they liked the best. The top five vote receivers get a full 6 minutes to pitch their idea/demo/concept/whatever. Remember: full on “sales” pitches are discouraged – tell us what’s interesting and why we should care. A projector and laptop will be available, make sure to have your pitch/supporting files on a USB stick.
