ESSMA Pitch Management e-Workshop

ESSMa maintains the upcoming 2020 Pitch Management Workshop but opts for a new, digital format. As the global circumstances are unpredictable, it is more appropriate to collaborate online to ensure a safe environment.

The designed format should lead to real interaction and collaboration, with relevant best practices and insights.
