Virtual live pitching via Zoom

Our live pitching event is held on Zoom. We’ll kick off in the main Zoom session with brief opening remarks. We’ll then move to three separate Zoom sessions, each dedicated to one of the three tracks: General Technology, Healthcare & Life Sciences, and Social Impact.

Teams will present simultaneously in each track, which allow you to hop into each room whenever you’d like. After the competition ends, we’ll return to the main Zoom session for networking while judges deliberate.

We’ll then reconvene in the main Zoom session for the finalist announcement.

Watch parties

We are also hosting watch parties on the third floor of the Joyce Cummings Center for students to watch each track live with friends while enjoying pizza on the house. Just come to the 3rd party and we will help you find your track.

On-line Q&A via Slido for In-Person and Virtual Attendees

In-person and virtual attendees can ask any team a question through an online platform called Slido. Click “Ask a question” on any track. Upvote/downvote existing questions, or ask a new question in this format: “[TEAM NAME] Question”.
