For all "Submitters": we’d like to have a virtual prep meeting a week before the Bake-off. We’ll hold this after hours to accommodate people’s work schedule and target the prep for 10/23 at 6pm. If for some reason you can’t make this meeting, we’ll prep you/your team one-on-one at your requested time. Last minute entrants will also be prepped separately. You can expect to have 10 – 15 minutes to present your solution to the audience with 5 - 10 minutes for judge and audience questions. We will provide an internet connection for you, but it’s always best to plan back-up slides with screen shots. Please plan to attend the entire event as awards will be given at the end.

If you have questions, send me a note at donna@metistream.com. Good luck to all Submitters!

Thanks to Salient Federal Solutions for hosting us!
