We are incredibly excited that this weekend has arrived! As part of the Westin’s hospitality, they have created a special menu for our patrons. Please check out the menu below!
In an effort to reduce the 2012 MBA Game’s environmental footprint, the Academics Committee is providing only one (1) paper copy of the case to each participating team. This applies to all case competitions. Teams will be given a USB stick the morning of their competition with a pdf version of the case and the PowerPoint template. As such, we encourage each team member to bring a laptop. Thank you for your cooperation.
How else are the 2012 MBA Games going Green?
1. By coordinating hotel busing, we are reducing the total number of trips required.
2. Friday night’s social event is across the street from our hotel. This means NO transportation is required.
3. All participants will be using Edmonton’s Light Rail Transit (LRT) system to transport between downtown Edmonton and the competitions.
4. Participant’s “welcome” bags are made out of reusable materials!
5. One of the items in the welcome bags is made out of 100% recycled material…and we’re not talking about the paper inserts either! We’ll save the details for your arrival in Edmonton!
6. Providing each team a single paper copy of the case saves approximately 1500 pieces of paper, not to mention ink savings.
After months of planning, we are pleased to announce final numbers of participants and teams! When our last registration update went out a few days ago, we officially had 507 participants registered from 19 teams across Canada! Congrats to all competing schools- your hard work and preparation is almost over. The Games are less than 3 weeks away!
