Prepare to introduce yourselves to the other teams!
Create short pitch (to introduce the team and project, no slides needed). You can base yourself on the project description you made.
Decide who pitches – and add it to the sheet

The pitcher waits in the waiting room, and will be dragged into the pitching arena whenever they are up! Find out how here: https://help.osoc.be/global/pitching/hackathon-pitches

Get started here: https://events.conversationstarter.net/e/osoc/
Today: Set up your profile; make it all about you!
Later this week: You'll get to schedule conversations with people that spark your interest. If you want to let faith decide who you'll meet, we'll pair you with random people!
