The pitches are starting to flow in! To be held in conjunction with the Annual Convention and Exhibition (ACE) on April 6 in Houston, Pitchapalooza features pitches, but with a twist. Each will feature an innovative use of technology, techniques, and scientific discoveries.

Pitchapalooza is an event where individuals and companies can “pitch” an audience and potentially obtain funding for a project, product, or new business. These can include oil & gas projects that feature a new application of technology, or the development of an innovative (even disruptive) technology. The goal is to help accelerate the productive development and application of innovation as well as ensure potential for a significant return on investment.

Projects can include mature fields that can be revitalized, shale plays that have newly identified sweet spots, new technologies for identifying hydrocarbons (either as reservoirs or as environmental problems), alternative energy solutions, smart systems, sensors, software, and more.

The Goal: Bring together opportunities and funding sources (investors, partners, etc.), with an emphasis on the development, application, and/or implementation of new technologies

Vision: Expanding and transforming the world of geosciences by expanding opportunities and becoming involved in more phases and stages of resource development
