UC Davis-Financial Times Biz Quiz

The UC Davis Graduate School of Management is excited to partner with the Financial Times (FT) to host student teams from business schools for the UC Davis-Financial Times Biz Quiz on November 15-16, 2024.

The Challenge

The Biz Quiz is a buzz-in quiz contest with a host asking questions based on Financial Times business news content from October 1-November 11.

Teams of three from business schools will compete in two rounds, with the top three teams advancing to the final rounds, followed by an awards ceremony to recognize the winners.

FT has contributed $9,450 in prize money for the top three teams and the top three individual competitors. One team and one individual will be crowned our 2024 UC Davis-Financial Times Biz Quiz champions.

Welcome and Featured Executive Speaker

The evening before the competition starts will feature an interview with Nancy Pfund, Founder and Managing Partner of DBL Partners.
