The University of Maryland, University of Washington, and Florida International University present the second annual Ace the Case Global Business Challenge, a virtual case competition. Ace the Case is supported in part by a Title VI grant program known as CIBE (Centers for International Business Education) administered by the U.S. Department of Education.

Ace the Case is open to all MBA and business graduate students, from AACSB accredited institutions within the United States, interested in testing their critical thinking skills and knowledge in global business strategies. Participants will provide actionable recommendations by participating in a case interview process with an international company.

Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis and will only be viewed as complete when a full team has registered. Priority will be given to the first registered team from each participating institution. Additional teams from the same institution will be considered on a space available basis. Teams should be comprised of 3-5 students and only represent the school at which they are enrolled. ONLY SUBMIT ONE REGISTRATION PER TEAM.

The competition will take place February 4 - February 11, 2022. A tentative agenda is below:

-Friday, February 4: Welcome & Case Introduction
-Saturday, February 5: Preliminary Rounds
-Sunday, February 6: Finalists Announced
-Tuesday, February 8: Final Presentations due at midnight
-Friday, February 11: Award Ceremony

Teams can expect to participate synchronously for no more than two hours on Friday, February 4, Saturday, February 5, and Friday, February 11. Final-round teams can expect to submit a video with recommendations by Tuesday, February 8. Time in between accounts for judge deliberations.

Deadline to register is November 21, 2021.
