WHY SHOULD YOUR STUDENTS PARTICIPATE?

Bryce Cross from Dalhousie University has been on 2 winning teams! Here’s what he has to say about our competition “The conference will expose you to dozens of employment and personal growth opportunities that just can’t be received in the classroom or at other case competitions. It’s been one of the most influential experiences of my undergraduate education!”

SAIT student Trevor Readman was on the 2019 winning team along with his twin brother. Here is what he had to say. “It was one of the most significant events we’ve ever attended. We would recommend this once in a lifetime opportunity to any student who is looking to take their learning outside of the classroom”
