Yes, there are competitions like who can text the fastest, who can find information the fastest in Wiki Races, and Code Golf for problem-solving.
But the biggest focus is on the keynote sessions, says Vinaya Sivakumar with INTERalliance of Greater Cincinnati. Its mission is to inspire and assist young talent to pursue an IT career in Greater Cincinnati.
Speakers include the chief information officer for Fifth Third Bank and the chief technology officer for 84.51.
"A lot of what really fuels and hypes up students is meeting those professionals who they might not have another opportunity or venue to meet," says Sivakumar.
