During the Live event you will have an opportunity to listen to insights from invited Keynote Speakers, experts in the field of virtual and global collaboration. You are also invited to celebrate together the middle of the competition by joining the Midnight Toast session streamed live.
Step 6: Post-case video
After the Live Event the teams have two weeks to prepare a post-case study video. The video is about your team’s GeCCo Journey and is compulsory for all the teams to be eligible to win the competition.
Step 7: Award Ceremony
The Award Ceremony will take place on 15 April, 2023. During the ceremony a closing keynote speech will be given and the winners of the competition will be announced.
