Good for all those who went to the contest/ participated in it, and congratulations to all those who placed!

For those not there, you pitched your idea in front of about 50 people, but there was a "man in the elevator". Being that you're basically talking to one person, judges can't comment, it didn't seem as bad as pitching to a huge crowd. It was fun pitching my idea. I didn't want to pitch the class design going into the competition so on Sunday I thought about the idea I pitch. Basically, there is software that tracks purchasing habits online, I can do the same, just instead of saying they went to this page, I'll say they were in this department of the bricks-and-mortar version of the store. I'm surprised because the night before I had about 1:30 problem & :30 about my product and I changed it around a lot the day of. I'm not sure if I will continue with this idea. I have to check into feasibility first, then, I will have to at least wait until May when I'm not as busy. Mainly, my goal was to pitch an idea, any idea. I have another three years at Purdue, yeah, 3! This has helped me a lot in feedback/ getting over public speaking. I expect to be a pro by the time I graduate, hopefully earlier.

It would have been nice to have attended but I could not be in attendance because of prior engagements. If there is such an event taking place again in the near future I will have to be in attendance. This looks to have been a great event especially with all the ideas floating around Indiana.
