Course Description

A masterclass to help you reach your goals with presentations that convert and move to action.

The Power Pitch is a unique opportunity to rapidly develop your storytelling skills, and take your project to the next level. It is taught by award-winning pitch masters Augusto Pirovano and Matteo Uguzzoni, longtime members in the Edgeryders network.

You will learn:

• How to sell your project/idea to your audience in order to reach your personal goals
• How to craft your message and a powerful reasoning
• How to design your slide deck in order to support your live presentation
• How to study your presentation and prepare yourself for the live meeting
• How to conquer and retain the audience attention and move it to your desired action

The PowerPitch is not a course about using a presentation software. It is about understanding where the strength of your message is, identifying the audience profile and how to build an argument to produce a desired and specific outcome (be it selling a project, motivate the team etc.)

• The Master Class is composed of different modules: theory, exercises, examples, games and case studies
• It starts with the anatomy of an effective presentation, so that even those who are not going to create the actual slides will understand what to ask and how to give a good briefing to the operative team.
• During the first day, participants divide into teams of 2-3 people and work together building a real presentation which you can use inside your organisation or if you are on your own.
• During the second day, each team will deliver its presentation in front of all the other participants, and receive feedback from the trainer and their peers about the clarity and the strength of their arguments and the effectiveness of their live delivery.
• By the end of the course, you will develop your skills to build an effective presentation handout - digital or printed.
• You will receive a practical and strategic guide on how to address presentation projects in the future, as well as all the exercises tools and links to audio-video resources used in the classroom.

The Teachers - Augusto Pirovano and Matteo Uguzzoni:

In 2008, Augusto Pirovano and Matteo Uguzzoni started building a social startup called CriticalCity, a game of urban transformation that used a web platform and asked its players to perform creative missions. The player would pick the mission, shut down their computer, get out on the street, play the mission, collect the necessary proof of his experience and then, after returning home, publish the mission attaching photos and videos.

One year later they pitched it in front of a panel of investors and won the TechGarage awards for Best Italian Startup. They went on to win every tech startup competition in which they participated. Since then they have designed strategic presentations for top leadership at Luxottica, Vodafone, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, UniCredit, eBay, Italian Ministry of Economic Development and the Tunisian Ministry of Tourism.

When and Where: May 26-27 at 75 Rue Pierre Decoster, 1190 Brussels.
