What?

Each presentation lasts 7 minutes: 3 minutes to pitch the idea and 4 minutes to answer questions by the panellists. Additionally, they 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.

Hone your pitching skills, present your ideas and see what can happen!
