Day 1: Arrival

Our team members have been gradually arriving in DC over the course of the last week to take advantage of the warm(er) weather and check out some of the many sights.

We will be staying this week at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill, the official conference hotel. We've stocked up on supplies and are settling in for the long haul.

Today marked the start of the official Jessup competition. Things kicked off with opening remarks by the organizers and a flag ceremony, where each team's name was called and they hung up their country's flag in the hotel ballroom. More than 100 teams from all over the world are participating. We can't wait to get to know everyone over the course of the week!


At 6pm, we received the competition schedule as well as the written submissions of the four teams we will be facing in the preliminary rounds. We immediately got down to work preparing for the first day of competition. We are excited to represent the Hertie School and learn from the judges and the other competing teams!
