And the winners are...

After the four presentations, we all gravitated towards the cocktail reception in the Atrium. The teams looked relieved and I'm sure the alcohol helped to unwind a little bit. A lot of BU students made an appearance at the reception along with a few more professors - Prof. Brunel and Prof. Carlisle among others.

About an hour of hobnobbing and we were ready for dinner. Mary Sforza and her wonderful staff had laid out a lovely three course meal event for us and the excitement was palpable as we seated ourselves. Check out Flickr for lots of pictures of the cocktail reception and the dinner/awards ceremony. There was lots of animated chatter in the room.

Josh Cleveland, Dean Chalykoff, Dean Lataif and Navin Mehta spoke at the ceremony (podcast and/or transcript to follow) and after dinner the prizes were announced.

Fourth place - $2,500 - PEBL - Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada

Third place - $5,000 - SURFBoard - Stanford School of Business, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA

Second place - $15,000 - CANOPY - Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL

Congratulations to all the teams. I hope you had an enjoyable experience.
