Springboard Enterprise's 'The Dolphin Tank' - Perfect the Art of the 'Pitch'

Join CanWIT and the Centre for Women in Business for Springboard Enterprise' 'The Dolphin Tank's' Canadian début Jan. 31st in Halifax!

CanWIT and the Centre for Women in Business have partnered to bring Springboard Enterprise's "The Dolphin Tank" to Canada for the very first time!

The Dolphin Tank is one of Springboard Enterprise's most successful pitch-practice programs in the U.S. This proven program gives women entrepreneurs an opportunity to perfect a two-minute business presentation with the help of industry experts. They'll help you make edits to your message that might make all the difference when opportunities come your way. There will be no sharks or dragons here - these panelists will provide only friendly feedback and actionable insight!

Along with our panel of experts, audience participants are encouraged to engage in the pitch by asking questions and offering feedback. This is a GREAT opportunity for networking, as you never know who might be watching!

The Dolphin Tank is scheduled to take place at MSVU's Rosaria Student Centre on January 31, 2013, 11:30am-3:30pm (see campus map here). The cost for CanWIT and CWB members is $35, $45 for non-members, and $10 for students, and will include a networking lunch.
