Set up a pitch contest

During the event, each attendee receives a set number of pitch points they can award to pitch contestants. You can also set the maximum number of points that can be given to any single contestant. For example, if at most all 10 points can be given to one contestant, each attendee can either give 10 contestants one point each or 10 points to a single contestant.

Set up pitch profiles

• Pick the partner tab (default name “Exhibitors” or “Sponsors”) and rename it to “Pitch”, “Startups”, or whatever name you want. This is done in Admin > Exhibitors & Sponsors > Settings.
• Set up the base profiles, then bring in the pitch contestants to contribute content — same as for regular partners, including images and videos.

Pitch contest configuration

Share the configuration of your contest with us:

• How many pitch points per attendee (our recommendation: 10 points)
• Name for the pitch points shown on the credit button, e.g., “Pitch Points”
• The name of the partner category that contains the pitch contestants (e.g., Sponsors > Pitches)

Recommendation: Don't give out more than 10 pitch points per person. Otherwise, an imbalance can arise if someone gives all their points to a single pitch contestant.
