Pitch Bootcamp will be there. Pitch Bootcamp is a 2-day programme that joins students and recent-graduates with companies. During the first day, students receive training on self-value discovery, market segmentation and value proposition design. On day 2, students put what they have learned into practice by pitching themselves to the companies present. Students will get feedback on how they can improve their value proposition to companies and on how to make an informed decision when it comes to choosing between different career paths. This will ultimately lead to work opportunities and empowering youngsters to making informed decisions about which career paths to pursue.

Pitch Bootcamp has the goal of empowering youngsters by capitalizing their talent into building great, successful careers. It acts on filling the gap that exists between companies and students or recent-graduates, by connecting them in a very particular and unique environment. Pitch BootCamp acts mainly on two levels: life-long empowerment and creating actual work and job opportunities. The target audience of Pitch Bootcamp are, preferably, youngsters that are finishing their degrees and recent-grads. However, the event is open to anyone who aims to understand more about themselves and their positioning relatively to the market. This is because Pitch Bootcamp is a programme that has its value set on the participants’ experience, always aiming to elevate the intellectual perception of oneself and on how to capitalize that into jump-starting a career. With the training of the first day, participants will be ready to meet company representatives on the second day to whom they can communicate their knowledge, skills and competences.

First 50 abstracts submitted by university students will receive a 50% reduction in their registration fee.
