In January 2016, the John Molson School of Business will be the proud host of the 35th MBA International Case Competition. During this student-run event over 150 participants from 15 countries representing 36 universities will test their skills, intuition and stamina in an intense weeklong competition. We will wel-come more than 270 seasoned senior executives who donate their time and expertise to judge the presentations of the MBA teams, and over 300 volunteers toensurethateverythingisdoneefficiently.None of this monumental effort would be possible without sponsors like you.

Your generosity provides the backbone of the competition and, without it, the John Molson MBA International Case Competition would simply not be able to showcase the talents of MBA students and bring the vibrant Montreal business community to an international stage.

On behalf of the John Molson MBA program, thank you for your commitment to the competition.

Merci beaucoup,

Sandra Betton, PhDMBA Program Director

Being a sponsoring partner is a unique opportunity for businesses to expand their client base, gain visibility and capture a select audience of international MBA students. Furthermore 300 local graduate and undergraduate volunteers and 270 Montreal based C-level executives take part in this one-of-a-kind experience.
