Be a Pitching Coach: Teaching Researchers How to Communicate

Researchers know their technology better than anyone. This means they can be a technology transfer office's (TTO) greatest asset when pitching to prospective licensees and partners.

This session will help TTOs give researchers the skills and insights they need to stay on the asset side of the technology marketing balance sheet. You will come away with helpful tools you can use immediately, including effective coaching techniques, how to prepare for specific licensing targets, and recommendations for training frequency and follow-up.
