About the event
Have ideas for use-inspired applications of your research? Wondering what is the first step or how to test your ideas?
This session opens with a 30-minute workshop, "How to Craft Your Elevator Pitch," led by Professor Mark Fagan, Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School. You'll learn a simple framework for communicating your innovation clearly and confidently, then take a first crack at your own pitch. No polished idea required.
After the workshop, drop into open office hours with Harvard Grid Executive Director Paul Hayre and resident i-lab expert Phil Green. Feel free to join in for any duration. Pizza lunch and good conversation provided. Open to the Harvard community.
