Last Night A DJ Saved My Pitch

Mar 9, 2025

2:30pm – 4:30pm CT

Advance sign-up is required and will be limited to primary access only. Please stay tuned to sxsw.com for updates to the RSVP process in late February.

Great DJing and great pitching/presenting have a lot in common. Using a live DJ set as the guide to an interactive talk, Kit will guide you through the shared techniques of brilliant DJing and pitching/presenting, from seamless transitions to finding your rhythm, from building anticipation to surprising your crowd. Then you’ll put what you’ve learned into practice to craft a killer pitch presentation. This session will take you on a journey through musical history, psychology, and entertainment, and you’ll leave with a stack of practical techniques to smash your next pitch or presentation.
