Global eCollaboration Competition
The Global eCollaboration Competition (GeCCo) is an international virtual 24-hour project management case study competition organized by IPMA Young Crew.
GeCCo was launched in 2012, as an innovative project, aiming to bring together Young Project Management Professionals from all over the world and promote collaboration among virtual teams.
The world is going digital, which is why we have to be in the forefront of that wave in our networking, so we decided to organize an online competition that takes 24 hours and teams in which each team member comes from a different country! With different time zones, 24 hours is almost as three days! Interested? You can be participating, organizing it locally or bring it to the international level!
