Well, if I’m honest, I probably wouldn’t have picked my pitch either.
I only found the speaker requirements at the last minute and slapped together an ‘oh crap, here’s what I’d probably talk about’ kind of pitch in less than 24 hours — and they weren’t my most confident 24 hours at that. (Existential crisis, ho!)
So they politely rejected me form-letter-wise. I just have to hone my pitch for next time. It was a good exercise.
