The Tabletop Game Design Pitch Panel features live pitches to a panel of experts. Pitches are open to everything from fledgling ideas to polished designs. Each designer has roughly 5 to 10 minutes to present and receive feedback. The goal of the event is to help designers hone their skills in presenting their game ideas and to receive feedback about the game concepts themselves. The focus of the event is on education and skill development in the tabletop game industry. Games are reviewed by Tony Serebriany (USAopoly, vice president, inventor relations), Matt Fantastic (Forever Stoked Creative, creative director), Candice Harris (Kickin' It Creative, game designer), and Ross Thompson.
