Dear Patrick, Less than a month to go for RTC Europe 2016! This also means there's less than a month to get submitting for the Vision 20/20 competition, proudly sponsored by CADLearning. What is the Vision 20/20 competition, you may ask? Last year we ran this competition under the name PechaKucha style compeititon. This competition is where the submitter puts together a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 20 slides that display for 20 seconds each that gives insight into where our industry is heading or where it should go. This year's topic is "Big Data". This is a hot topic, but how can we make the data available to us, useful in the AECO industry? FOCUS OF YOUR SUBMISSION What do you need to think about? If you're keen on submitting an entry, you should think of this as an abstract proposal, or more so a live abstract proposal. The reason being, the winner of this competition gets to present this as a class at RTC Europe 2017 and the prize package includes your registration and 5 nights' accommodation. JUDGING PANEL 
There are two parts to the judging process for this competition. Once all the submissions are in, the European Committee will review these in order to determine the top three finalists. Look out for a gold star on your badge, this gold star indicates you are one of our top 3 finalists. If you're a finalist, you'll then get your chance to present your submission live to your fellow delegates on the 22nd of October, starting at 4:15pm. After all three finalists have presented, the delegates will vote. The winner will be announced later that evening during the Gala Dinner, each finalist wins a prize 2nd prize is a HTC Vive Virtual Reality Headset and 3rd is €300 visa pre-paid card.
