Red Hat is hosting an exclusive case competition for NC State students at its downtown Raleigh headquarters.

At Red Hat, solving real enterprise issues takes strategic thinking, collaboration, and high-impact problem-solving. This competition gives students a hands-on look at what it takes to tackle real industry challenges, work under pressure, and present solutions directly to corporate leaders. It’s not just about competing; it’s about learning how to analyze complex situations, build strategies with a team, and gain invaluable industry exposure.

This event provides students with the opportunity to:

• Solve real issues in teams of four

• Present to and receive feedback from experienced Red Hat judges

• Network directly with Red Hat leaders and representatives

• Gain industry exposure and advance to the final presentation round

Competition Details The competition takes place on Friday, October 9th (11:00 AM – 3:30 PM). The event features two rounds, with Round 1 presentations pre-scheduled (full-day attendance is not required) and final presentations starting around 1:00 PM.
