Introduce Yourself with a 1-Minute Elevator Pitch

**Have a startup, AI product, technology solution or business idea you'd like others to know about?**

You'll have the opportunity to take part in our **1-minute elevator pitch session**, where attendees can briefly introduce their businesses, projects or professional expertise.

It's a simple way to make yourself visible and encourage others to connect with you.

You can use your introduction to

  • Explain what your startup or company does.
  • Showcase an AI application, software product or technology service.
  • Share an innovative business idea or project.
  • Introduce your professional skills and expertise.
  • Find potential co-founders, partners, clients or collaborators.
  • Let others know what kind of opportunities or connections you're seeking.

**Your idea in a short, 1-minute elevator pitch.**

The goal is to communicate who you are, what you're working on and why someone might want to connect with you.

**Pitching is completely optional.** You're equally welcome to attend, listen, exchange ideas and enjoy the networking experience.

A Different Kind of Professional Networking

Not every valuable business conversation happens in a meeting room or at a conference.

Sometimes the best ideas emerge over a casual conversation with someone from a completely different professional background.

This event is designed to encourage those moments.

Expect a **friendly, sociable and professional atmosphere** where you can introduce yourself, enjoy a drink and meet people who are genuinely interested in technology and business.

There's no need to prepare a formal presentation or follow a complicated networking format.

Come with an open mind, a few ideas to share and a willingness to meet new people.

Whether you're looking to grow your professional circle, explore a new venture or simply connect with others in the industry, you'll have opportunities to make the evening worthwhile.

###

Connect Before You Arrive

Make the most of your networking experience by getting to know fellow attendees in advance.

A **dedicated WhatsApp group** will be available for the event, allowing you to introduce yourself and start conversations before meeting in person.

**The WhatsApp joining link will be shared one day before the event.**

You can use the group to share your professional background, mention what you're working on and discover people with similar interests.

It's also a convenient way to continue conversations and maintain connections after the event.
