What It Is ?

What is Pitch & Plate?

Pitch & Plate isn’t a typical networking event – it’s a storytelling dinner experience where business steps off the stage and sits at the table.  In a warm, elegant setting in Marbella, we bring together founders, entrepreneurs and curious minds who believe that real opportunities are born through real conversations.  Instead of slick slide decks, guests share their journeys over a shared meal – because partnerships don’t start with a pitch deck, they start with human connection.
