Boost Turku / Omahomma & BNI: pitch & mingle
For the final session of Boost Turku's summer programme Omahomma, we will join forces with BNI Turku Future Stars.
We’ll start with Turku Future Stars group leader Joona Mäki, who will give an intro to BNI and BNI style pitching.
After that, we'll have a short training on stage presence and presenting yourself by Elsa Ervasti, a pitching and presentation coach, who's been working with individuals, companies from various fields, as well as business events such as Slush and SHIFT Business Festival (https://www.elsaervasti.com/).
Elsa will have practical and fun exercises to help you develop and deliver your own 30sec pitch, which you can then try out together with your Boost peers and BNI members!
Training and everyone's presentations will take ca. 1,5 hours, after which you can stay and mingle as long as you like. Pitching yourself is not obligatory, but highly recommended!
