Short n’ Sweet 2022 at a glance

A pitch at DOK Industry: Three persons present on stage in front of a four-person panel. Moderator Elisabeth Klinck sits at the left side of the stage while listening.

What?

Each presentation lasts 7 minutes: 3 minutes to pitch the idea and 4 minutes to answer questions by the panellists. Additionally, you meet the panellists in short individual meetings for more concrete feedback and networking. In a special workshop prior to the festival we help you prepare your pitch and connect with your Short n’ Sweet peers.

Two participants of the Short n’ Sweet pitch are presenting their project on stage. One is looking down with concentration, the other one holds a microphone and is talking to the audience.

When and Where?

The 6^th Short n’ Sweet takes place on 19 October as part of the DOK Leipzig festival. The event will be on-site at the venue Zeitgeschichtliches Forum in Leipzig’s picturesque city centre.
