PLEASE NOTE THE UPDATES IN JUDGE ALLOCATIONS (as on 7th June) - HIGHLIGHTED BELOW IN YELLOW
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE JUDGE SLOTS WITH ARENA PRESENTATION TIMES.
Judging time bands are when the allocated Judges are expected to visit the teams at their kiosks.
NOTE: THESE JUDGING TIME BANDS ARE FINAL.
KINDLY DO NOT REQUEST ANY ACCOMODATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS IN SCHEDULE, AS THERE IS NO FEASIBILITY DUE TO TIGHT EVENT SCHEDULES.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!
Judging Band Allocations:
All judging will take place on 17th June at your kiosk.
Teams have been allocated one of the following time band of 90-120min to visit their allocated Catalyst teams.
SLOT 1: 11am to 1pm
SLOT 2: 2pm to 4pm
SLOT 3: 4pm to 5:30pm
Judges will visit the allocated teams during these time bands, spending about 30 minutes per Catalyst.
To ensure smooth judging, kindly ensure your demo to judges does not exceed 10-15min, so that judges have enough time for further judges' questions/feedback & does not impact the subsequent judging slots for other teams.
Each team has been allocated a panel of 3 to 4 Judges.
Though we try to target the judges to visit teams together within the judging slot, sometimes due various conflicts, judges might visit seperately &/or, outside of this time band. Please ensure your booth is well covered throughout the 18th June.
To ensure we give the teams & judges sufficient time to have lunch, no judging band allocated from 13:00-14:00.
Meet all the judges on our Awards webpage
Most judges will be wearing a lapel pin which says 'Open Innovation Catalyst Judge'
