The rationale for this competition remains the same – to bring to cégep,
technical and community college students the opportunity to develop skills and
gain experience in presenting solutions to some of today’s business challenges.
We also hope that the contacts made during these few days will also enhance
career opportunities of the future.

Teams are sequestered before going into isolation for three hours to analyze
and develop appropriate solutions for a case that they have not seen before.
The internet is not to be used and cell phones are not permitted in the isolation
rooms. Les équipes seront mises en isolement 3 heures avant de présenter leur
étude de cas. Chacune de ces salles sera équipée d’un ordinateur portable.
L’étude de cas et la présentation PowerPoint doivent être réalisées à l’intérieur
de ce délai. Aucune autre article ni appareil électronique ne sont permis dans
les salles d’isolement. Il n’y a aucun accès Internet.
All 27 teams will present the same case on Saturday. Au total, 27 équipes
présenteront la même étude cas au jury le samedi.
Presentations must not exceed 20 minutes. Les présentations ne doivent pas
dépasser 20 minutes.
The top 2 teams from each division will compete in the finals on Sunday. Les 6
meilleures équipes (deux équipes dans chaque salle) seront annoncées le soir au
diner gala. Ces 6 équipes accéderont à la finale du dimanche matin le 13 février
2011.
