After Joe Uva's presentation attendees participated in the remaining panels and the conference concluded with a networking session where the winners of the New York Times Media Group Case Competition were announced. Students at business schools across the country submitted one-page abstract proposals for the case "The Metropolis Planet and Diversity: Looking to Minority Populations for New Revenue Opportunities". Nearly 50 teams consisting of almost 200 students entered the competition, and judges selected six team finalists from the Johnson School at Cornell University, Harvard Business School, the Kellogg School of Management, the NYU Stern School of Business, the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University and the University of Connecticut School of Business. The competition was won by the team from NYU Stern which included Anastasia Dedyukhina, Kevin Drost, Isabella Joffe, Davide Tararbra! The first place team received a $2,500 prize, and the second place team won $1,500. Both the first and second place teams will have their successes featured in The New York Times.
