SUMMIT 2024 is more than just a case competition—it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the dynamic world of economics and showcase your skills in a challenging and rewarding environment. This event is designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application, offering participants a platform to solve real-world economic problems and present innovative solutions. The Economics Students Society believes in nurturing talent and promoting a spirit of collaboration and competition. By bringing together students from diverse backgrounds, we aim to create a vibrant community where fresh perspectives and creative ideas thrive. This competition is an excellent way for you to demonstrate your expertise, engage with your peers, and gain valuable experience that will set you apart in the field of economics.
Join us for an adventure that will test your analytical skills, strategic thinking, and teamwork.
We look forward to seeing how you navigate the challenges and make your mark in the Economics Jungle!
How does it work?
SUMMIT 2024 is a one-week-long case competition. The case will be released one week before the presentation date. Participants can sign up individually or as a group; if signing up individually, you will be paired with others by the ESS team. Once the case is released, you will have one week to prepare a PDF presentation showcasing your findings and resolutions. On the day of the competition, you will present your solution to a panel of judges. Winners will be announced and awarded cash prizes on the same day.
When is it?
The official date for SUMMIT 2024 will be announced soon! It is scheduled to take place at the end of October. Stay tuned for more details.
Who can participate?
Our goal is to provide Economics students with opportunities to apply and showcase their skills. However, we welcome all SFU students to compete, as we believe in fair and equal competition. Please note that the case will be approached from an economic perspective.
