The 2026 case centered on a historic, multi-generational property in the Adirondacks. Students were asked to navigate questions around family dynamics, long-term vision, and how ownership might transition successfully into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two parts to the competition. Teams have one week to prepare for Part A, which is presented on Day One of the competition. Part B of the case is presented to students after the first round of presentations is complete. Teams have the remainder of the evening and the next morning to complete their case analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
