Important Information

Competition Schedule

Dress Code

The competition itself is a professional business competition, so we expect our participants to dress in either business casual or business formal attire. The exception is for the two outcry events where competitors often find it easier to navigate and find each other in the pit if they wear distinguishing clothing or uniforms (such as noticeable hats, jerseys, or trading jackets). Also, please note, that the average temperature in Toronto in February is -8 degrees Celsius/15 Fahrenheit. We suggest that you bring appropriate winter clothing, and that you check the weather forecasts before you leave for the competition.
