Pitch on Deck: presenting with no projector, straight to the point
Removing the projector changes a presentation completely. With no slides behind you, each team has to explain their project with the essentials: the idea, the why, and what they need from the rest of the company. Pitch on Deck moves internal presentations to deck, in short turns, with the sea as the only backdrop.

Why it works without a projector
Without slides, the presentation depends on the idea being clear in the presenter’s head, not spread across 40 bullet points. That forces better preparation before boarding, and usually trims presentations down to what actually matters.
Feedback opens right after each turn, with the other teams listening: there is no room hierarchy filtering who gets to speak first.
Format and duration
Works well over 3- or 4-hour sessions, with 10-to-15-minute slots per team plus feedback time. It is especially useful for quarterly project reviews or internal product launches.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really no visual aids at all?
A minimal aid is allowed — a poster, a physical sample — but no projector or slides. The idea is to force clarity in the message.
How many teams can present in one day?
With 10-to-15-minute slots, a 3- or 4-hour session comfortably fits 6 to 10 presentations.
