It's one hour before the start of the formal reception to welcome the competition entrants. We have 11 teams from Kellogg, Stanford, Sloan, UNC Kenan-Flagler, Eller, McCombs, Queens Canada, Seoul Korea, IIM Calcutta and London School of Business and I will attempt to contact each team over the next two days to bring you the inside stories of their experience as participants in this event. I know there is a palpable level of excitement and anticipation (or maybe that's just me needing to cut down on coffee today). The organizing committee is definitely all switched on and look forward to the kick-off reception tonight.
I did bump into the IIM folks who, along with Seoul Korea, attended Prof. Hatten's Managing Risk class this afternoon. They seem well rested, cheery and look forward to the contest. They did express regret that since they'll be flying out on Sunday, they may not have time to check out the HBS and/or MIT campuses but I did point out the wonders of Comm. Ave. and the BU campus (construction notwithstanding).
The teams should all be checked in to the Brookline Courtyard Marriott Hotel by now (that's where they'll be staying for the duration of the competition.
Stay tuned for more after the reception! I, for one, am very much looking forward to being in the same room as the world's top MBA minds.
