Ideas for a successful pitch

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.
