About the Competition

You and your teammates will engage in a contest with competing institutions from all over the globe. Your job is to address challenges like creating an employee experience that attracts millennial while retaining all other generations of employees; or reducing the gap between the speed of business and the typical speed of real estate.

Eligibility Criteria:

1. The competition is open to all students (undergraduate/graduate, full-time/part-time) who are currently registered at a recognized university.
2. Student teams from universities and academic institutions around the world are invited to compete in an academic challenge whereby students will be asked to play the role of an internal corporate real estate team in order to address a real-world issue facing companies around the globe: develop a proactive strategy to: (a) “Recession-proof”, to the extent possible, the corporate real estate portfolio, (b) continue to support the business objectives of the corporation and (c) ensure that such a strategy does not negatively impact the company in the unlikely event that a recession does not materialize.
3. Each team must have a faculty advisor: individual students are not eligible to compete.
4. Three teams, with a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of four (4) students each, will be selected to compete onsite at the CoreNet Global North American Summit, a professional conference for 3,000+ corporate real estate professionals from around the world, to be held in Orange County, CA, 20-22 October 2019. Interested students will be required to submit a registration form and then respond to several questions. Based on the quality of their responses to the questions posed, three teams will be invited to participate in the Final Round.
5. Teams should not only recession-proof but innovate. Your response should not focus solely on disposing of property but rather ensuring that property is used to create a culture that helps employees through challenging times at work during a recession.

Awards:

1. Gain international experience.
2. Connect with experts.
3. The team will win US $5,000.
