How to Register

Getting started is simple. Here's how it works:

Step 1 - Register Your Team

Reserve your competition spots. Final participants can be confirmed later.

Coaches reserve and pay for the total number of spots. Teams may include competitors and alternates, and you do not need to finalize participants at this stage.

Key dates:

  • Team registration deadline: September 11
  • Individual student registration: October 9

Step 2 - Complete Participant Profiles

Submit student and coach details, including resumes.

Once registration is complete, team members submit profiles including participation details.

Requirements:

  • Indicate role (coach, competitor, alternate)
  • Resume required for student participants
  • Profile deadline: October 9

Step 3 - Prepare for Competition

Review materials and expectations ahead of the event.

Students review case materials, judging criteria, and competition expectations in advance.

Competition Participation Limits

Schools may register students for NISC 2026 before final student names and competition selections are confirmed. Student competitors will declare either the Role Play Competition or the AI Case Study Competition later in the student registration process.

Competition limits per school:

  • Role Play Competition: Up to 10 competitors
  • AI Case Study Competition: Up to 3 competitors
  • Speed Sell Competition: All attending students compete, including Role Play competitors, AI Case Study competitors, and alternates

Additional students may attend as alternates and compete in the Speed Sell Competition only.
