All ASME conferences, meetings and events scheduled through December 2021 are being planned as virtual only, enabling everyone to enjoy the full benefits of participation via our virtual event solutions with no physical presence required. ASME will not have any physical or in-person events during this time but will continue to deliver the insights and expertise that our community depends upon.

What is the Elevator Pitch Competition?
To participate in the challenge, you must register through the regional E-Fest event website. Registration will be available soon.
Review the full rules and guidelines, determine which E-Fest you are attending and then begin the preparations for your ‘pitch.’
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.
