At 10:00 AM the exhibit hall opens up to as many as 30 companies that are seeking capital showcase their companies.  At noon the luncheon program begins with our investor panel that focuses on the best ways for early stage companies to attract growth capital from angel or venture capital investors.  The day's luncheon program ends with the Elevator Pitch Olympics from 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM.  The exhibits will open up again at 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM for further networking and meetings with panelists.  Attendees learn about investing, corporate partnering, technology licensing and acquisition opportunities.

An elevator pitch is a short presentation made by an entrepreneur raising money.  The term describes a pitch that's short enough that it could be given during an elevator ride when the entrepreneur has the only chance to interest a potential investor.  Just as in the real Olympics, the investor judges hold up their scores and award points of one to ten in the categories of quality of presentation and business fundability.
