Pitch Me! Frequently Asked Questions

Are Project Pitchers guaranteed a minimum number of meetings?

Not quite, meetings can't be guaranteed. That said, our platform's matching system works hard behind the scenes to set up as many meetings as possible, based on mutual interest.

Does a meeting require mutual selection by both parties?

Yes. During the selection phase, both Decision Makers and Project Pitchers review, prioritise and select their preferred meeting partners through our platform, which then schedules meetings based on these selections. Please note that Decision Makers' selections are given priority in this process.

How many meetings does a selected project typically receive?

There are up to 10 meeting slots in total across the two Pitch Me! sessions. This is the maximum number of meetings available, while the actual number depends on how selections align between Decision Makers and Project Pitchers. In practice, Project Pitchers typically receive between 1 and 5 meetings.

If a project receives no meetings, is Congress registration refundable or transferable?

Unfortunately, no. Congress registration fees remain non-refundable and non-transferable even if a project does not receive any meetings. Pitch Me! is one of many sessions and programmes included in the Congress, so your registration covers much more beyond this one format.

Are projects without an attached production company eligible and competitive?

Yes, absolutely. There is no requirement to have an attached production company in order to participate. All registered Congress '26 participants are welcome and eligible to submit up to 3 projects as a Project Pitcher.
