Marketing Strategy Competition (AM Round)
The Marketing Strategy Competition takes place at the AMA International Collegiate Conference. We level the playing field for all schools, big and small, to challenge your wit, speed and presentation skills. This one is all about using your knowledge and experience to react quickly to develop a case solution. You can participate in this morning session or during the afternoon session starting at 1:30 p.m. CT.
Perfect Pitch Competition
Take part in this fast-paced pitch competition! While not truly a sales-specific role-play, the AMA Perfect Pitch Competition is a 90-second interview in which you position yourself as being “right for the job.”
This is a skill that every marketing professional needs to develop. Like an elevator pitch competition, your goal is to provide 2-3 key selling points why you are an ideal candidate and then support these qualifications with examples. The end goal is to close the deal and get hired!
A Final Round will take place on Saturday morning, with the winner and top-performing students announced at the Collegiate Awards Banquet on Saturday, April 13th.
Faculty Research Presentations (AM Session)
Faculty sessions will consist of refereed paper presentations based on the submission of extended abstracts that have been accepted.

Universities & Colleges: 5 Ways to Elevate the Employability of Your Students
Nearly 80% of employers believe that current graduates do not arrive equipped with the skills they need to be work-ready, and 49% of graduates are not applying for entry-level jobs because they perceive themselves as underqualified (Cengage, 2022). Prospective students are now prioritizing practicality, and universities are feeling the pressure to ensure that their graduates secure meaningful employment opportunities.
The decision to pursue a college degree often hinges on two critical factors: the cost of education and the likelihood of landing a job upon graduation. The ability to bridge the gap between education and career prospects has become a vital competitive advantage for universities.
Join us in this enlightening webinar as we explore the latest trends and valuable insights that can empower universities and colleges to enhance their students’ employability and distinguish their programs.
- Offer work-integrated and practical learning
- Help your students use networking platforms effectively
- Provide your students with industry certifications
- Help your students to build key soft-skills
- Keep your curriculum relevant and industry-aligned
