Join the EOBN Competition 2026!

Are you ready to challenge your sales and negotiation skills on an international stage? The EOBN Competition 2026 offers students from across Europe a unique opportunity to test their talent, connect with industry professionals, and represent their university in a dynamic and inspiring event.

How to Register

In the weeks leading up to the Christmas break, each university will select the students who will represent them in the competition. Once your students are confirmed, we’ll provide all the necessary materials — including the competition case, scoring sheets, and preparation support to ensure every participant feels confident and ready to compete.

Application deadline: Week 49 — Friday, December 5, 2025

Please keep the following dates in mind:

• December 5: Deadline for university application
• December 5: Competition case and related information will be sent to registered universities
• December 9: Introduction to and by Gartner, and explanation of the case product, during the online mini masterclass for students and coaches: How to Prepare (14:30 Dutch time)
• January 9: Deadline for student applications (names and résumé) via this link: EOBN 2026 Student Registration and CV.

Participation Fee & Other guidelines

The participation fee is €50 per student.
100% of this amount goes directly toward prizes for competitors and organizational costs.

To ensure fair opportunities for everyone, each university may register a maximum of two students.

We also kindly ask that someone from your organization joins as a jury member in one of the online negotiation rooms — this enhances the learning experience and ensures valuable interaction between academia and industry.
