ABOUT
We are thrilled to open applications for the Pitch Party, hosted by Boca del Lupo, taking place on Thursday, April 23, 2026 at Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre as part of PACTcon 2026.
This high-energy session gives selected participants the chance to present their work in a fast-paced, dynamic format designed to spark collaboration, touring conversations, and future partnerships.
THE FORMAT
The Pitch Party uses the PechaKucha-style presentation format, a creative storytelling framework built for clarity, and impact.
Here’s how it works. You have:
-
18 slides
-
18 seconds per slide
-
An auto-advancing presentation (your presentation will not stop!)
-
A total of 324 seconds to tell your story
The Pitch Party allows for a visual and concise opportunity to connect with your colleagues across the country about exciting work ready that’s ready for a new audience.
WHY PARTICIPATE?
- Connect with presenters, producers, and decision-makers from across the country
- Spark touring conversations
- Find creative collaborators
- Share your vision in a focused, high-impact format
This is not a panel. This is not a lecture. This is a celebration and recognition of ideas in motion.
