An innovative educational format
PCR’s Got Talent goes beyond the regular abstract presentation. As a participant you will benefit from professional coaching between rounds. The competition begins with a challenging three-minute presentation with only three slides, in the elevator pitch fashion! If you are able to convince the jury and audience, you reach subsequent rounds which allow a longer presentation time and the use of more slides. The presenter's work and performance on-stage are submitted to a vote by the audience, in a convivial atmosphere.
This unique experience provides an ideal occasion to get solid professional advice on how to summarise and present your message in a very impactful way. You are guaranteed to benefit from the coach’s recommendations not only for the PCR’s Got Talent competition, but also for all of the presentations you will make during the whole of your future career.
Eager to take part in this thrilling educational experience? Present your work at PCR’s Got Talent and invite your friends to vote for you through the App by joining the session!
