Twelve US universities will participate in this invitation-only competition. Places within the competition will be reserved based on the order in which expressions of interest are received.

Competitors will present their analysis of a CRE lending decision using a case study based on a real-world transaction. The teams will be given a week to prepare the analysis and presentation materials. At the competition, each team will present its analysis to a panel of senior CRE executives that will judge using evaluation criteria including the team’s analysis, conclusion and presentation skills.

The case competition will be followed by a networking reception for all participants, industry leaders and CREFC’s Young Professionals.
