Welcome to Ascend 2026!

Thank you for your interest in Ascend 2026.

The school registration form allows schools to register teams through a single registration. After filling out the required information on the form, you will be directed to a payment page. Please ensure you have a payment method ready prior to registration. Further updates on team assignments will be emailed to the sponsor teacher’s email near the conference date.

Please ensure that you have read and agree with all registration policies prior to registration.

Any questions regarding registration or payment should be forwarded to the Director of Administration at administration@ascendcompetition.org.

Sincerely,
The Ascend 2026 Executive Team

At Ascend 2026, participating teams will have no more than five attendees. 

Teams that have registered and are not meeting the five-attendee capacity MAY have other members/teams of 2 or 3 join their team. 

To input the information, please download, fill out, and upload the Excel spreadsheet that contains the Names, Grades, Email Addresses, and other important information of your students. Alternatively, you may manually input attendees' information.

NOTE: Registration fees will not be refunded should any team members be absent. If the need to substitute any team members should arise, please contact the Director of Administration as soon as possible. 

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests, please do not hesitate to contact us at administration@ascendcompetition.org. For urgent inquiries, please contact chair@ascendcompetition.org directly.

At Ascend, we want all attendees to feel comfortable competing in an environment that is most suitable for themselves. Therefore, teams can choose to compete in the Novice Competition Stream or the Advanced Competition Stream.

Please note that additional qualification documents must be submitted for teams to be placed into the Advanced Competition Stream. Examples may include certificates from previous case competitions or an invitation email from Prosper Foundation. The Director of Administration will be in contact with you after you submit the registration form for competition stream placement verifications.

Please note that Ascend Competition reserves the right to redistribute the competition stream placements. For teams who have qualified for the 2026 Prosper Ivey Invitational Competition via Ascend 2025, STRIVE 2026, Elevate Venture 2026, or Prosper 2026, they will be automatically placed in the Advanced Stream.

Please note that your registration will not be processed if the number of team members selected above does not match the payment or we have not yet received payment for your transaction. 

If you are paying with a wire transfer, Interac® E-Transfer, or cheque, we will be contacting you at a later date to process the payment.

Ascend Competition is using Square to process payments. We will not be able to see private credit card information.

Any payment questions can be directed to administration@ascendcompetition.org.
