the Event
all about?
The weekend kicks off with opening remarks and ice breakers so everyone can get to know eachother. After that, individuals can pitch their ideas, and cross functional teams are then formed in order to develop the idea and validate a business model. Throughout the weekend there are mentors and workshops to help you with the process. The weekend concludes with teams presenting their final pitch to a panel of judges and competing for the grand prize!
