PACE Speed-Networking Pitching Session
Nike Jonah and Erwin Maas, Co-Executive Directors of the Pan-African Creative Exchange
Join Nike Jonah and Erwin Maas, Co-Executive Directors of the global networking platform the Pan-African Creative Exchange, to learn savvy ways to pitch artistic ideas and projects. Artists will pitch their work at tables with attendees. This has proven to be a valuable way of practicing pitching in an informal setting that allows for artists to connect with delegates in the field. As artists move from one table to the next, attendees will learn about a variety of up-and-coming artistic projects and benefit from constructive feedback in a conversational setting.
