Global Exchange

This GBSC kick-off event serves as an ice-breaker and warm up for participants. It will take place at the FIU Main Campus.

 

Elevator Pitch

​

An elevator pitch is a clear, brief message or “commercial” about the Competitor. It communicates who the student is, what the student looking for and how the student can add value to a company or organization. It’s typically about one minute which is the time it takes people to ride from the top to the bottom of a building in an elevator.

​

During this event, Competitors will use a pitch to introduce themselves to companies representing a variety of industries. This elevator pitch should be no longer than 1 minute.

​
