Welcome to the 2nd annual Lang Sustainability Conference!

This year's competition will have two portions: a video submission and a live pitch. The video submission will be a 5-7 minute solution of RBC's case problem, submitted by 11:59 pm on March 19th. On March 20th, each pair will present a live 2-minute pitch in one of five breakout rooms. The best pitch from each room will move on to the finals, where their 5-7 minute video submission will be watched by judges.

The case will be released on March 12th.

RBC is offering cash prizes for the top 3 pairs who create an innovative solution to the given problem statement.

Delegates will be placed in pairs by March 8th at 11:59 pm. On March 12th, the case will be distributed to delegates and they will have until March 19th at 11:59 pm to submit their 5-7 minute video presentation. On March 20th at 1:45 pm, delegates will present their live 2-minute pitches to RBC and University of Guelph faculty. The best pitch in each breakout room will move onto the finals, where the pre-recorded video will be watched by RBC judges.

The pitch is your time to shine and to "wow" the judges. Like an elevator pitch, you want to leave the judges wanting to know more about your solution. This is your hook.

The problem solution video should be 5-7 minutes and should include, but is not limited to, how your solution will tackle the issue, any resources that are needed, implementation plan.
