What you will do: Students provide 5-minute presentations based on analysis of venue events and ticket scans related to data tracking compost, landfill, recycling, reuse/donation, water usage, energy (kWh), natural gas and other variables related to event and venue management. Judges hear the presentation and evaluate based on (1) statistical analysis, (2) data visualization, (3) actionable insights, (4) communication, and (5) integrity.
The NCSAC Study Guide for the preliminary ticket data round will be updated by the first week in December, 2023, to include guidance with a practice set to prepare for the championship. Learn more by visiting www.goalstandard.com.
Why: Integrity, defined by Henry Cloud as “the courage to meet the demands of reality,” is at the center of the competition. Competition is the best way to measure talent. Students who can face the demands of short deadlines to produce actionable insights will shine.
