Take to the stage with your most prized products and pitch to a panel of buyers and our live audience at Autumn Fair 2025!
PITCH YOUR PRODUCTS
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 judges and a curious retail audience.
BUSINESS BOOST
Finalists will have the opportunity to enhance their brand awareness, gain invaluable feedback and possibly get a new listing! The winner will receive 2m² space off their 2026 stand, two 1-hour consultancy sessions (press relations, mentoring & hands on strategic advice) with Sharon Good, CEO of Good Results PR.
Spring Fair Pitch Live winner Sally Deer from Ducky Zebra commented on how beneficial the Pitch Live experience has been to her business, “Winning Pitch Live is a huge achievement and I’m really happy. I have opened up 10-year accounts and I have also got several new genuine connections and leads so I am absolutely buzzing! These accounts range from children’s retailers who are experienced at buying childrenswear, but also very successful gifting shops, who have never tried baby clothes but saw our range and love it so much they decided to introduce it as a product type, which is exciting.”
HOW IT WORKS
Three finalists will be shortlisted from each of the sector entries and invited to the Trend Talks stage to deliver a Dragons' Den-style pitch to our panel of experts. The 3 Pitch Live competitions will run as follows:
