Meet & Pitch With Plug & Play
When
Where
The Factory Hammerbrooklyn network is growing and changing all the time — it’s hard to catch every company on campus. Selected teams will be welcomed on stage to share a little bit about what they do, why they do it, and how they want to involve the community along the way.
Each speaker will get five minutes to pitch their story and answer questions from the audience during a short Q&A. After the planned pitches, audience members will also have the opportunity to make a 1-minute elevator pitch and share their story.
