EDGE Business Competition is a live business simulation for students who strive to challenge themselves, test their skills and expand their learning beyond the classroom.

The event is an interactive, multidisciplinary, high energy case competition; a twist on the static case competition, where students read a case and analyze the alternatives, because of the added element of real time and active competitors that simulate a real business environment.  
As a multidisciplinary event, EDGE Business Competition will involve several challenges that will test delegates in the areas of accounting, finance, marketing, public relations, and operations management. Over the weekend of Febuary 3-5, 2012 teams of five from University Business schools across Canada will meet in Edmonton, Alberta, to display their learned skills in these areas, while demonstrating creative and strategic competencies. Teams will need to work together, think critically, quickly react to changes, perform under time pressure and make marginal decisions to prove they have the edge over the competition and emerge victorious.

EDGE is for high-achieving, high-energy, sociable students who strive to learn in environments beyond the classroom. EDGE Business Competition is a practical learning opportunity—it offers an interactive and fast-paced simulation to provide a learning experience and fun environment for students. Delegates will also have an opportunity to network with peers and potential employers from around the country. The various social events planned are as equally important and beneficial to students as the actual competition. Delegates will meet a variety of new people from a plethora of backgrounds, all while enjoying the sights and scenes of Edmonton’s downtown and University areas. It will certainly be a weekend of learning, competition, challenge and recreation!
