What is the ASME Elevator Pitch Competition?
An elevator pitch of 90 seconds or less is intended to “sell” your ideas and skillset to a potential employer, decision maker, or influencer. You only need to provide enough details during the presentation to entice your audience to meet with you again for a more detailed conversation. In other words, you want to compel the audience to bring you back for a further conversation.
Do you want to show off your speaking skills and/or power of persuasion? Do you want to introduce an idea succinctly? If yes, then show us your imagination and join us for the ASME Elevator Pitch Competition.
