BAF 2021
BAF took place during the 17th-19th of November 2021, online via Zoom and we had the honour to showcase seven exceptional projects. The Pitching Forum started with a greeting by Dimitris Savvaidis, who also gave the participants some tips on pitching. After that there was some time for networking and after a short break, Elina Roinioti delivered a private seminar for BAF's participants on how to organize a successful kickstarter campaign. The jury members were Debra Wootton, Glen Beaudin, Teddy Grouya and Federico Vallarino.
