Competition

LIVE Conference 2012 is based on the idea that competition fuels innovation, passion drives intensity, and learning should be integrative. LIVE puts you to the test in a practical learning environment like no other.

A fundamental aspect of the Conference is an intense, multidisciplinary business competition called the LIVE Curriculum. The competition allows delegates to experience the unique opportunity to face tomorrow’s executive decisions today. The LIVE Curriculum is a competition like no other – the environment will be comprised of intricate factors whereby the decisions of competitors will influence your own. Uniting the areas of Finance, Marketing, Accounting, Human Resources, and Economics, the LIVE Delegates will experience the ultimate business challenge.

The LIVE Curriculum is set out to emulate a real business environment where in teams of five, delegates take on the role of managing a company. Each decision made has its consequences and ultimately these decisions affect the bottom line. Delegates must always think strategically and critically about the multiple effects of their business decisions. They must analyze the market carefully, be confident in communicating their judgments, and always be on their toes for what could be around the corner. In the end, teams will be judged objectively at the hands of industry professionals, based on their performance in a competitive marketplace.

Most teams will meet expectations and rise up to the challenge. The real leaders are the ones who can adapt to obstacles, perform under stress, and keep their eyes on the prize. Thirty teams will compete but only one will emerge victoriously, and the winning team will take home both prizes and recognition.
