I am one of the co-founders and organisers of Pitch and Mix in Cambridge, a networking meet-up that attracts a varied and interesting crowd of high tech professionals, employees and entrepreneurs from Cambridge and surrounding areas.
Started in February 2010 Pitch and Mix gained immediately good reputation for being a very interesting meeting where people are actively asked to introduce themselves, pitch for their own projects or ideas and mix with likeminded people.
As we appreciate everybody is busy we organised a simple and straightforward agenda that we try to follow literally and, most of the time, we manage to.
Here is the agenda for the event:
- 8:45-9:15 free networking (Clowns Cafe is open since 8 so people can arrive earlier)
- 9:15-9:20 welcome – introduction for new comers and updates
- 9:20-9:40 pitching – You can introduce yourself, your project, a burning topic, whatever you like. Everyone in the room can make a 30 second pitch and state who they are and what they do
- We allow 6 x 3 minutes pitches: just ask the chair on the day, first come, first served
- 9:40-10:00 Speaker - OR - Free Discussion
- 10:00 – wrap up and conclusions – followed by free networking, discussion groups and follow up on conversations…
If you are interested in joining us please join the meetup group, register for one of the forthcoming events and come along!
