How Virtual Speed Pitching Works

During the event

We will rotate you through all the media breakout rooms.  

You’ll pitch one-on-one, face-to-face with each media attendee in a private breakout room.  

You’ll have five minutes to demonstrate your product and pitch your ideas for their upcoming editorials.

After the Event

You’ll receive a contact spreadsheet of all the media attendees for follow-up.  

The media will receive a fantastic sample box with your product and press information.
