The Peak Time

The team of Peak Time 2018 thanks all of the applicants, sponsors and supporters, case evaluators and, most importantly, all the finalists, who came to Riga and together with us created this amazing event. Let the pictures speak for themselves.
As for now, have an adventurous summer and never stop exploring!

The Peak Time would not be possible without the great support of our intellectual partners! During the first day of the finals, the participants had to prove that they have what it takes in the very exciting Cesim Business Simulations. Second day of competition came with the case provided by our long term intellectual partner CIVITTA. After talking to some participants, we pretty surely can say that the case was relevant and interesting for them! For the TOP5 teams, the final case was brought by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG). This was the first year, when Peak Time cooperated with Boston Consulting Group, and we could not be happier about the great reviews about the case both from the panel of jury and the finalist teams! All throughout the event participants were provided with the very useful SEB Latvia merchandise, which helped them while solving the cases.

The typical day of a Peak Time participant begins with MILZU – delicious crunchy breakfast. Meanwhile, refreshing break is impossible without the soft and bubbling Kane's Latvia. Afterwards, a crucial recharge of a tired organizer and participant is carried out on time with the help of energizing Red Bull. When a DJ is cranking his tunes at full volume he is holding a bottle of Cēsu Alus…

The Peak Time organizing team wishes to express sincere gratitude to those sponsors whose generous support made the event possible this year!
Your support is not something we take lightly, it is very much appreciated by everyone who participated in Peak Time 2018!
