Pitch perfect. 🗣 The Pitch-Off Contest at this year’s TALA Conference and Industry Expo felt extra fun, given how enthusiastically participants embraced the Renaissance-inspired theme. The Pitch-Off Contest is a creative and competitive way for exhibitors to promote their wares. Congratulations again to this year’s winner Alis, and to runner-up LifeLoop! Plus, a special shoutout to LifeLoop for having the best hats. Thank you to all who participated! And thank you to last year’s winner Halcyon Home and the TALA Young Professionals Network Board for being the pitch-off judging “sharks.” Pictured: TALA’s Pitch-Off Emcee Carmen Tilton with Alis, with the LifeLoop team, the “sharks” – Halcyon Home, TALA’s Helen Hunsinger, Gordon Food Service’s Carrie Serrano, and Anthony Ormsbee-Hale of Civitas.
