We’re introducing big changes to PIVOT this year! With the hopes of providing local competitors with a world-class competition experience, PIVOT has adopted a 12 hour case structure to inspire the business and technology leaders of tomorrow. The intensive day also includes a networking event and sponsor-led workshops. We are committed to providing all PIVOT competitors and stakeholders with a challenging, but rewarding competition day in our upcoming 2025 event.
