About us
Got a big talk coming up - a thesis defense, a conference keynote, a demo-day pitch, a job talk, or an important toast? Prehearsal is where you rehearse it before it's real, in front of a live, supportive audience.
Each session runs two focused hours in Manhattan with a guaranteed full room of about 15 invited, vetted guests - so you never present to empty chairs. You book stage time in 15-minute blocks (15, 30, 45, 60, or up to 90 minutes), deliver your real presentation with a host keeping time, and walk out with everyone's written feedback.
How it works: pick a session and your length, apply with your topic and pay when you apply (full refund if the host doesn't approve your application or the session doesn't fill), then present to a full room. Bring your own laptop - two projectors run in rotation and your deck never leaves your machine.
Pricing is a flat $140 per 15-minute block: $140 for 15 min, $280 for 30, $420 for 45, $560 for 60, and $840 for the full 90.
Want to watch and give feedback instead of presenting? Join as a guest and receive a $25 thank-you per session.
All sessions are listed and booked at https://prehearsal.net - tickets and presenter slots are purchased on the website, not through Meetup.
