CONFERENCES AND COMPETITIONS

web.png

Student conferences and case competitions are a key component of student life and learning at the Ted Rogers School of Management (TRSM) and Toronto Metropolitan University.

 

Conferences and competitions allow TRSM students to immerse themselves into real-world business conversations, while also thinking creatively and innovatively in competitive environments while presenting to industry leaders. Students who participate in conferences and competitions have a richer educational experience overall; the training, collaboration, and competition experience are all important learning opportunities that prepare TRSM students to compete in the business world post-graduation.

 

TRSS Conference and Competitions Committee (CCC) works to encourage students to take advantage of these opportunities by tackling financial barriers students might face when attending these internal/external conferences and competitions.

CONFERENCE PORTFOLIOS

Internal vs External Conferences

Internal Conferences

Conferences orchestrated by student groups operating under the TRSS umbrella, delivering localized, hands-on learning experiences right here within campus grounds. These events foster tight-knit collaboration, streamlined logistics, and targeted networking within our community.

External Conferences

Hosted by partner universities, industry organizations, or corporate entities outside TRSM, granting access to broader perspectives, cross-institutional partnerships, and diversified professional networks. This dual framework empowers you to strategically balance on-campus immersion with expansive off-campus industry engagement.

"Thanks to CCC funding, I’ve been able to compete in over 20 case competitions—most recently at international ones—sharpening my analytical, presentation, and teamwork skills on both national and international stages. Beyond covering travel and registration fees, CCC’s support showed me that the community believed in my potential, giving me the confidence to push my limits and perform at my best.
