Conference

Once a year, a Canadian University in the East Coast hosts a 3-day conference where 400 students get to meet multiple professionals from various companies and compete in academic competitions.

This conference invites over 10 different universities with 40 students each to interact with professionals. Guest speakers showcase their companies and different aspects of their jobs. It is an amazing opportunity to meet people and to expand one’s network. Social events are held in the evenings, such as the Wine and Cheese, which allows students to meet professionals and peers from different universities.

Each university selects one representative team of students to participate in the Academic Competitions (Case Competition, Simulation Competition, Theoretical Exam & Technical Paper). And finally, each year new surprise competitions are held by the hosting University.
