Attendees will learn:
- The best way to communicate with frustrated stakeholders and sponsors.

The GSIC is a competition organized by the Product Development and Management Association to showcase student entrepreneurs in their quest of putting theories and concepts into practice.
Student teams that develop original concepts for a product, service, software, or a combination of the three, submit details about their business model, solution concept, and unique value proposition. Students are welcome to expand on academic work for their theses or capstone projects as the basis of their entry.
Finalist teams may be paired with industry mentors through PDMA. Finalist teams are encouraged to present their concepts, prototypes and mockups at PDMA’s Annual Competitive Edge Conference. The presentation portion provides students the opportunity to demonstrate their product development skills to an audience of industry practitioners, service providers and academics in innovation, product management and product development.
Please visit the website PDMA Global Student Innovation Challenge for details on key dates, eligibility, rewards, and other pertinent information.

Announcing Innovate Carolina 2021
|
|
|
|
|
The Carolinas PDMA chapter is planning its 12th Annual Innovation Conference, a virtual event on April 22nd and April 23rd. This year’s theme: Capturing the silver lining – delivering opportunities from disruption
Clearly, COVID-19 has been a significant business disruption, however this conference is not focused on COVID-19, but on the idea that businesses must be more prepared to face recurring disruptions and learn to innovate during and after significant disruptions.
When we consider how many new businesses (and business models) were spawned from previous downturns (Airbnb and Uber are two examples from the last downturn), it's evident that disruptions offer an opportunity to innovate.
