Teams can work remotely and drop in to the various presentations throughout the day. Lunch (Wings Over and Pizza) will be provided for all participants between 12:30 - 1:30PM. OTIS has provided SME (Subject-Matter Experts) to present on different parts of the company and technology. In-person attendance will be incentivized, but a number of virtual presentations will also be made available. The more you incorporate this content into your solution, the better your score and evaluation will be. All in-person presentations will be in STRS WW16. For each in-person presentation you attend you will receive a ticket for the change to win a $25 Amazon gift card.
