Unlike most pitch events, the panel will provide feedback and Q&A, as well as judge and select the top team/project of the event.
As an attendee, you will have the opportunity to vote on the audience favourite, as well as engage with students and panel via polls, Q&A and Live Chat. And, if you feel you can support the teams or just want to connect, we'll provide space for that as well.
For our part, we are committed to creating a comfortable and engaging space for all who attend.
