The event, free to the public, will be held from 5 - 7 p.m. on Dec. 8 at the Rhode Island Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at One Davol Square, Providence.

Here's how it works:
Up to 30 presenters will each make a 90-second presentation.
A panel of expert judges from the Rhode Island business community will then give feedback about the clarity and persuasiveness of the presentation.
At the end of the evening cash prizes totaling $1,000 will be awarded to the best presenters.
This is a great opportunity to practice making a business pitch with immediate feedback from experienced business building professionals.

Want to just watch and listen?
