PITCH is held at the Christchurch convention center every year to a packed house of house of around 1100 people as part of the Ignition programme, which is a showcase of creativity at CPIT.

PITCH also exemplifies the collaborative spirit of ignition incorporating the amazing skills of hairdressings and digital video post production students to create a professional and dynamic night for industry and the public of Christchurch.<br /><br />

    <title>Nov  9, 2009: EXIT at Christchurch Convention Centre</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Parking available in the Crown Plaza car park.<br /><br />
EXIT provides the perfect opportunity for you to see how the buildings we live in and use every day come to life. The exhibition features work by Architectural Technology and Interior Architecture students from the School of Architectural Studies. Both groups combine design and technology, and communicate it (through documentation such as drawings and CAD) into the reality of domestic and commercial buildings. Students from Interior Architecture focus on conceptual aspects while Architectural Technology students concentrate on practical implementation. These students graduate in 2009 into a world hungry for their talents. Exit is an opportunity to see the products of this talent at the beginning of their bright careers. Exit is part of the Ignition programme, which ia a showcase of creativity at CPIT.<br /><br />
