IBM TechTrek

Experience the future with some of the most innovative people in the industry. For team members and coaches and by invitation.

It just doesn't get any better than this. Finalist teams from teams competing in regionals on six continents come together for the challenge of a life-time. Which team will win? It takes a lot of knowledge, intuition, and skill - and a little luck - to be the next ACM Programming Contest World Champion. All are invited to watch.

After the contest is over, but before the results are finalized, the coaches are invited to a briefing by the Finals Director and the Director of Judging. There will be a progress report and announcements concerning the remaining events. Coaches may make suggestions for improving the contest or advise us of any concerns. All such communications must be submitted in writing and will be given prompt and careful consideration.

Just ask anyone who was at the last World Finals Celebration. IBM shows some of the brightest next-generation computer scientists what fun is like - and vice versa.
