THE NEW ELITE EXPERIENCE

ELITE 2024

What is new this year?

ELITE 2024 is introducing an all-new, 3-day, overnight experience at the SFU Burnaby Campus Residences. This format, inspired by international case competitions, is designed to offer a comprehensive case competition experience.

Over the weekend, participants will have the opportunity to engage in social activities and, most importantly, network with industry professionals. This unique chance to connect with experts in the field can open doors to exciting career opportunities. The ELITE 2024 experience is set to be a thrilling, challenging, and career-boosting journey!

Key new features:

  • 3-day, overnight stay at the SFU Burnaby Campus Residences
  • Two cases (4 hrs and 15 hrs)
  • Social activities and industry networking events
  • Additional rewards from the ELITE case sponsors (office visit, swag, etc.)

Do you have what it takes to be an international case competitor? Find out by competing in ELITE 2024 and show your skills to Beedie case competition coaches.

REGISTRATION

Registration: Open until May 26 (11:59 p.m. PT)
Fee: $40 per competitor (The Beedie School of Business values accessibility for all student programming. If this fee is a barrier to your participation, please email casecomp@sfu.ca for assistance).

Why is there a fee for ELITE 2024?

  • Unlike previous years, ELITE 2024 features an elevated experience over the course of 3 days. A registration fee is required to support this new experience and ensure commitment from all participants.
  • The fee is NOT intended to cover specific portions of ELITE 2024 (e.g., food or socials). Instead, it is to ensure that those who register for ELITE do so are fully committed to the experience.

ELITE 2024 Team Considerations

For ELITE 2024, we strongly recommend that all teams consider the breadth of knowledge of all members regarding upper-division courses. Also, consider a balance of individual case competition experiences when forming teams, for example:

  • Have some members of your team previously competed in another case competition?
  • Do you have someone with experience in financial analysis, slide building, etc.?
  • Due to the increased complexity of ELITE 2024, we recommend forming a team of individuals with varying course knowledge and experience levels.
Special Eligibility Note: Due to the significant change in the competition structure this year, competitors who have previously placed in ELITE finals are eligible to compete in ELITE 2024 as long as they compete with a completely new team – i.e., no teammates from previously placed (1st, 2nd or 3rd) teams can compete together. This regulation is only valid for ELITE 2024 and will not apply to future ELITE Case Competitions.

Please visit the ELITE main page for eligibility requirements and additional team considerations.
