The focus for the Presentation Skills Pt 2 workshops will be on your 3 minute EIE21 pitch. This is a pitch for investment, with the objective being to secure you a longer follow-up meeting with interested investors.

You should come prepared with your current 3 minute pitch for the start of the session.

The Presentation Skills Pt 2 workshops are run as half-day sessions in smaller groups to allow for more personal attention to be given to attendees.

These workshops will take place between April 6th and 8th, and you will only need to attend one of these half-day sessions,for either a morning or an afternoon session.

You will be contacted by Maryanne Johnston directly to book in for your workshop.

Perfect Your Pitch

The aim of these workshops is to ensure that at every opportunity you have to pitch your company to investors you get your message across clearly in a way the investors will understand and remember it. Also, that you get your credibility across to show what qualifies you to be there showcasing your company/product/service.

During the workshop you will be working both on how you deliver your ideas – to ensure you are confident, relaxed and using your natural style as well as how you prepare yourself – how you structure the pitch and remember what you need to say.
The result will be that on the day you are clear, confident and make impact, and you will gain skills which will be of great benefit not only for the EIE event but for pitches, presentations and meetings in the future.
