Here are a few suggestions to make your pitching event as successful as possible:
- Register and pick up your registration package early. Dates, times, and details on how to do this will be available soon.
- Attend as many training sessions as possible so you can apply what you learn to your pitch meetings.
- Prioritize who you want to meet with; try to have at least two ‘practice’ pitch meetings with others before meeting with the person you want to meet with the most.
- Wear comfortable shoes and clothing. You will be standing and walking a lot throughout this event.
- Checklist of things to bring with you: lots of business cards, one-sheets, breath mints, bottled water, and snacks (powerbars, etc).
- Be professional and positive at all times, especially in the lines. You never know if you are standing next to a potential coproducer or business partner.
- Register your pitch, script, and/or idea with the Writer’s Guild, and seek legal advice about protecting the ownerships of your material/ideas. Read our FAQ for details.
- Be sure to fill out a comment card and let us know what else we can do to make the pitching event even greater!
- Most importantly, HAVE FUN! And please, let myself or any of the staff know if there is anything we can do to assist you.
Happy pitching!
