PITCH LIVE

Autumn Fair and Ami Rabheru, Retail Strategist and Founder of Retail Huddle are partnering again on Pitch Live and Retail Huddle Live at Autumn Fair 2026. 

We are excited to announce this opportunity for our exhibitors to present their latest products and put a face and story behind them.

Pitch Live at Autumn Fair allows exhibitors to take the stage with their most innovative products, pitching to an esteemed panel of retail buyer judges and a curious retail audience.

Buyer participation in Pitch Live is advisory only. Prizes do not include, promise or imply commercial listings or orders with any judging retailers.

-  1-hour PR and brand strategy consultations with Sharon Good, CEO of Good Results PR

-  A 3m² contribution toward their Autumn Fair or Spring Fair 2027 stand

 

Three finalists will be shortlisted from each of the sector entries and invited to the Counter Talks Stage to deliver a Dragons' Den-style pitch to our panel of experts.
