• Conrad Basic Team Registration Fee: $95/ team and is required to complete registration
• For registration purposes, please include a team name. But no worries, we will let you change it later during the Semi-Finals if you come up with another awesome name down the road!
• DON'T MISS YOUR SHOT! ALL TEAMS MUST REGISTER BY TUESDAY, NOV. 1 AT 11:59 PM EST. 

The entry round is conducted completely online. Teams answer a set of questions and create a short video about their idea to explain and defend its viability as an innovative solution to a real-world problem. The teams with promising Investor Pitches will advance to the semi-final round.

As students develop teams, keep in mind there will be prizes for national and international collaboration during the Final Round at the Innovation Summit. We encourage you to reach outside of your comfort zone and collaborate without boundaries!
