SUMMARY:Preparing for Partnering: Session 2: Pitching to Your Audience
DESCRIPTION:For all those looking to work with industry partners\, whether it be collaborative research\, technology investment or raising funds\, this session is for you. Learn how to tailor your pitch presentation and host a productive meeting to ensure that you make a lasting impression. \nThese sessions are intended to support South Australians and Western Australians heading to the BIO Convention in San Diego in June. However\, they will be equally valuable for those about to engage in partnering or investment conversations\, particularly within a conference setting. \nHear from industry experts on what they are seeking from your pitch and the meeting with you – and then get the opportunity to try it out for yourself and gain feedback in a simulated environment. \nIn this session\, we’ll focus on: \n\nYour audience (Big Pharma\, investors and partners)\, what they are seeking and what they expect\nSlide decks\, what to cover and how to tailor for different meetings\nYour presentation and engagement style\nSticky stories\nEffective follow-up to convert leads to opportunities\n\nThis is an interactive session. After listening to a short presentation\, you’ll be placed on a table hosted by an industry expert. One member of the group will have the opportunity to practice their pitch\, while the others play the roles of associates and prospective partners. This experience will give you valuable insights and tips to hone your own presentations. \nDuring this workshop you’ll also get a chance to try out the less rehearsed pitch\, the short ‘elevator pitch’ that you’ll likely use at an event or networking interaction. This will be an opportunity for you to gain confidence in selling your story to quickly gain interest. \nHosted by MTPConnect Stakeholder Engagement Director: \n\nDr Tracey Wilkinson\, Director Stakeholder Engagement WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub\n\nIndustry experts will include: \n\nInvestors\nBig pharma representatives
