Overview of the event

Whether you’ve been using one of our Marketing Simulations for many years or are a new user (even with no experience), our Master Class has something to offer you!  This is a completely VIRTUAL event, no travel necessary.

We’ve invited faculty, all of whom are seasoned users of our simulations, to come and share the insights they’ve gained over the years about incorporating our simulation into their classes. Our staff will be covering many aspects of the simulation that instructors typically have to learn on their own.  

Come and learn how you can use our simulations even better in your classes, taking advantage of all of our resources and learning from those who have deep experience. 

This event will include not only presentations and discussions, but you’ll also have a chance to play the sim against your peers and discuss the outcomes afterwards. 

Our goal is for you to return back to your class with fresh ideas about using our marketing simulations!
