Paid pitches

Paid pitches are commercial pitches made by business entities during the transition period between sessions at HasGeek events.

Justification
HasGeek believes that one of the pillars of a technology community is its economic viability for community members. Jobs that afford the use of a technology allow community members to participate in its growth. HasGeek therefore supports the process of job creation and discovery.

Format
The supply of time at an event is limited, so pitches have a fee and are limited to a few minutes. Only one slot is available per transition between sessions. The presenter is expected to be able to take questions and communicate with interested individuals (off stage). The presenter may use slides and/or play a video during their available time. HasGeek recommends the presenter display contact details on screen that interested individuals can make a note of.
