Pitch perfect - Masterclass “Pitching and Presenting”

Are you submitting an abstract to present your research at ICT.OPEN2021 and are you curious how to make a great introduction for your online presentation? Or do you want to know how to craft your 90 seconds poster pitch? Join the 'Pitch Perfect' masterclass to learn how to structure your talk in a way that is clear, concise and engaging at the same time and understand what you have to consider when you are presenting online.

The masterclass will be given by Marloes ten Kate. Marloes is a presenter, science journalist and presentation coach for scientists. She is co-founder of Scientific Storytelling, where she trains scientists in the art of storytelling and presenting. She provided hundreds of scientists with tools on how to speak and share their story for a broad audience. During the masterclass, she will hand you all the tools to give the perfect video presentation or poster pitch. The only thing you have to do is sign up and invest about 2 hours to:

• join an interactive workshop
• learn what is important for online presentations
• learn how to structure your talk
• present your work in small groups
• provide and receive feedback

If possible, have a draft version of your pitch or the first few minutes of your presentation with you. This way you will benefit the most from this workshop. But don’t worry: if you do not yet have a draft version, you can also join and will still learn a great deal from this workshop.

The masterclass will take place on Thursday 21 January 2021, 10:00am – 12:00am (CET) through Zoom.

Register before 12 January by sending an email to ictopen2021@nwo.nl using the e-mail subject line: Masterclass Registration and including your name. We will inform you after January 14^th if you are selected for the masterclass.
