“First time public speaking”
“My very first talk on stage was with the incredible Bryan Stealey, chief marketing officer at Turborilla,” said Bidstack VP of gaming Antoine Jullemier.
“This was Bryan’s first time public speaking as well. It was an amazing experience for both of us and gave me the confidence to do more.”
CM Games evangelist Serg Kharchenko shared the story of his first time at the Big Indie Pitch.
“I met a nice person near the bar and shared that I was nervous before meeting the publishers. A young man in elegant glasses smiled to me and said that he felt the same and cheered me up. An hour later, that person shared a fantastic speech, making everyone relax and laugh. That was A Chris James. We still maintain warm relations.”
