Mini Expo Pitch Guidelines
To keep the event fast and exciting, please follow these rules:
30 Seconds Only
Each business gets a strict 30-second pitch, no exceptions.
Keep It Simple
Focus on three things: who you are, what you do, and how people can contact you.
No Slides or Props
This is a verbal pitch only, no visuals or materials allowed.
Respect the Time
When the bell rings, your pitch must end immediately.
Be Clear and Confident
Speak clearly, stay confident, and bring energy to your pitch.
Get Inspired
Example Pitch
"Hi, my name is David from ABC Plumbing. We help Crown Heights homeowners fix plumbing problems quickly and reliably. If you need plumbing help or know someone who does, come see me tonight or visit ABCPlumbing.com."
Short. Clear. Memorable. That's your goal.
