EMC JEOPARDY AND SOCIAL

Location: Flatstick Pub

Date: Wednesday, August 3, 2022 • 8:30 - 11:30pm

At our popular Jeopardy/Trivia events in years past, we’ve tested our knowledge of all things EMC+SIPI and learned about the various opportunities available to us as YPs in the EMC Society, in our local Chapters, and within the various Technical Committees and Standards Committees.  In 2021, Trivia was played using Kahoot!, which enabled a seamless interactive virtual Trivia experience, with participants from North America, Europe and Asia. We enjoyed the Kahoot! platform and top contestants were awarded prizes! 

During the 2022 Symposium, back by popular demand, we will hold “EMC+SIPI Jeopardy!” – Trivia, with a Twist!  This event is great at building your expertise in EMC+SIPI as well as providing a welcoming, informal environment to network with YP colleagues and experienced professionals alike.  Plan to join us! $25 (advanced) registration with food included.
