EDGE Business Competition, February 3rd to 5th 2012, University of Alberta (Edmonton)
Resembling the LIVE Conference of Toronto, EDGE is an interactive, high energy case competition; a twist on the static case competition, where students read a case and analyze the alternatives, because of the added element of real time and active competitors that simulate a real business environment. As a multidisciplinary event, EDGE Business Competition will involve several dependent challenges that will test delegates in the areas of accounting, finance, marketing, public relations, and operations management. Teams will need to work together, think critically, react to changes, perform under time pressure and make marginal decisions to prove they have the edge over the competition and emerge victorious. A full description of this event can be found at www.edgebusinesscompetition.com
