We're celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Waikato Management School Case Competition (1996 - 2026)! 🎉Our four finalist teams will go head-to-head in The Pā as they pitch their growth strategies for this year’s case company, Heilala Vanilla, while competing for a $3,000 prize proudly sponsored by PwC New Zealand.
Please register by Tuesday, 6 October to join us for a special evening of canapés, networking with former alumni and staff, and presentations from some of Waikato's brightest emerging business talent!
Launched in 1996 and now in its 54th edition, the WMS Case Competition has become a defining experience for generations of students.
Over the past three decades, it has helped develop the strategic thinking and problem-solving skills that have shaped successful careers around New Zealand and beyond.
Whether you're a former competitor, part of the wider WMS alumni community, or simply interested in seeing the next generation of business leaders in action, we'd love to see you there!
This event is free to attend, but registration is essential.
