Pitch Level Up 2023: Boost Your Pitch with Expert Feedback

The Pitch Level Up 2023 event, organized by Gamecity Hamburg, serves as a professional development initiative designed to help game developers refine their project pitches for publishers, investors, and funding institutions. The primary objective is to provide participants with constructive, expert-led feedback in a secure environment, allowing them to improve their presentation strategies without risking future professional opportunities.

The event features a structured format where participants select up to three industry experts for 30-minute sessions. Each session consists of a 10-minute pitch presentation followed by 20 minutes of individualized critique. The expert panel includes representatives from prominent industry entities such as Ubisoft, astragon Entertainment, Bytro, Daedalic Entertainment, and Super Crowd Entertainment, alongside independent consultants and journalists. This diverse group ensures that developers receive feedback from multiple perspectives, covering various aspects of business development and communication.

Beyond the one-on-one sessions, the event includes a supplementary talk program. These sessions address critical industry topics, including effective elevator pitch construction, publisher communication, and contract negotiation. By combining personalized mentorship with broader educational content, the initiative aims to bridge the gap between creative development and the commercial requirements necessary for securing funding and partnerships. The event is positioned as a key resource for the Hamburg games industry, fostering professional growth and facilitating better alignment between developers and stakeholders.
