International Student Case Competition​

Organized by ILA’s Leadership Education Member Community, the yearly case competition brings together teams of students at ILA’s Global Conference to face-off in an event where they analyze and develop a specific set of strategic recommendations that address key issues in a real-world case involving a contemporary leadership issue. In recent years, those issues have been tied to UN Sustainable Development Goal such as  SDG# 14 Life Below Water and SDG# 15 Life On Land.

The teams compete in two divisions (graduate and undergraduate) and the winning team from each division receives a $1,000 cash prize, complimentary ILA memberships, and is honored at the closing plenary of the Global Conference. Conference attendees are invited to engage and support this emerging generation of contributors to the field by attending the Case Competition Poster Showcase and the finalist presentations from the top three teams in each division.

Interested in competing? Visit the ILA Global Conference website and watch for when the competition sign up launches each year.  

The ILA wishes to thank those organizations that send teams to the conference to compete in the event,  individual ILA members who financially support the program through their donations, and organizations that provide sponsorship support to the ILA Global Conference. This program could not happen without you!
