Participants are given three weeks of preparation, after which they must present their solutions on the day of the event to a panel of esteemed judges recruited from world class organizations.
As an event that strives to deliver value to all attendees, RSM is also structured to include workshops, as well as a networking and information session in aim of benefiting attendees in multiple facets.
