That THiNG – Liverpool City Region’s Exciting Live Pitch And Performance Night Returns!

A Night of Big Ideas, Creativity, and Community-Powered Funding. Get Involved “That THiNG!”

That THiNG is returning to Liverpool for another unforgettable night of innovation, entertainment, and real socially trading impact. We're focusing on creative innovation, a perspective shift from a community of people asking, “what if the next Big thing is actually a collection of small THiNGs.”

This unique live, interactive event brings together visionaries, performers, and changemakers to pitch ideas, share their talents, and secure funding, decided by the audience.

What is That THiNG?

That THiNG is a one-of-a-kind aspirational event where creatives, entrepreneurs, and social innovators can pitch their ideas, perform, and connect with an engaged audience. Unlike traditional networking events, That THiNG fuses entertainment, collaboration, and innovation into a single night, where the power is in the hands of the people.

At the heart of That THiNG is audience-powered funding, where the winning pitch can receive the money collected in the pot up to £2000 (depending on ticket sales and sponsorships) to help bring their innovatove visions to life.

That THiNG is about inclusivity, accessibility, and celebrating grassroots creativity, making it the perfect space for new voices, fresh ideas, and bold thinkers to shine.
