Networking Competition
Friday 8 AM - Saturday 12 PM | Everywhere
This competition is fully self driven by students and does not interfere
with any other activities. Whenever a student sees a professional, then the
student can ask to do a quick elevator pitch with them. All networking
materials must be submitted by 12 PM on Saturday. You do not need to register for this
competition! Once you start sending in judge rubrics, we will
start tracking your points.
