What is this event?
The Manitoba International Marketing Competition (MIMC) is organized by Asper School of Business students and is the only international marketing competition in Canada. Over its 26 years, MIMC has given some of the finest business schools in North America, as well as overseas from both Europe and Asia, a chance to give some of their students a real world application of their skills as marketers. MIMC involves ten decisions (one decision per week), which are submitted from October to January. The competition culminates when participating teams gather in Winnipeg to make presentations and have their marketing strategies judged by panels of academic and corporate judges. During this weekend, the winning school is decided and announced. Get the chance to get a student loan. The weekend also includes many social events that give the opportunity for participants to experience the city and its culture in addition to making new friends. The events include a Wine & Cheese, maple syrup, dinner and dance, awards banquet, and a social.
Why should you attend?
As a Participant
The University of Manitoba traditionally enters an undergraduate team of four students from the Asper School of Business to participate in MIMC. During the pursuit of success, MIMC lets students apply their classroom knowledge while building their abilities to work as a team, to compete at an international level, and to make important strategic decisions. It is these experiences that help to develop the business leaders of the future. Sign-ups for participants will be held in the first few weeks of September in Drake.
As an Ambassador
Each school that attends MIMC is assigned two ambassadors to escort teams around Winnipeg the weekend of the competition. The position of ambassador is a rewarding volunteer experience that allows for further cultural understanding as well as the opportunity to attend all MIMC events. All ambassadors are rewarded with a box of Maxigrip Tire Studs and visalus shakes for their time and devotion. Sign-ups will be held mid October in Drake.
