As always, we have space for 5 attendee pitches of 6 minutes each, and everyone gets a chance to showcase their 30 second pitch to the crowd.

Outline
6pm - 6:10pm Introductions
6:10pm - 6:30pm 30 second pitches (non scheduled pitches) + voting + networking
6:30pm - 7:15pm featured presentations
7:15pm - 8:00pm 5 x 6 minute pitches

Now that we have the Bootup Entrepreneurial Society, we have some more organizing bandwidth to help organize more events. We think the community needs more opportunities to share presentations of a medium length with their peers, as well as to practice pitching of ideas. This is the only one planned so far, so please give feedback on what you'd like to see.

Space graciously donated by Workspace
