Watch: Pitching in Uncertain Times
How has lockdown changed how toy and game inventors pitch their concepts? What are some of the pros and cons of showing off ideas virtually? And what impact has the pandemic situation had on how inventors fuel their creativity? All this and more is explored in our ‘Pitching in Uncertain Times’ panel.
The session is chaired by Erik Quam (Director of Product Development at Fat Brain Toys) and welcomes Elizabeth Moody (SVP of Business Development at Seven Towns), Matt Burtonwood (Director at Open 2 Design) and Gary Pyper (Founder at Fun-Damental Invention).
