The Cyber-Lympics
INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
The first ever Cyber-Lympics will attract global media attention and interest. This will be the first organized competition that focuses on the cerebral and not the physical. A series of events, held over three days, will organize groups of “techies” to compete against other “techies” in various disciplines. Teams of four participants will compete in the categories of security, animation, hardware, and programming.
Companies participating in this event, and the host location, will attract significant publicity and prominence. This event will be a showcase that can be advantageously used by those organizations associated with these initial games. The host of the games will benefit from valuable public exposure and become the initial home of the Cyber-Lympics. For a period of time the host location will have the “bragging rights” of being Tech Central and the Home of Cyber Competition.
It can be reasonably expected that all of the major hardware and software companies will participate in some fashion. Consequently a trade show of the latest hardware and software products will be organized and run concurrently with the competition.
Historically most competitions have focused on athletic and physical prowess. There has not been an opportunity, to date, for those who excel in the high tech disciplines to demonstrate their talents and expertise by engaging in competition.
The importance of high-tech industries, and high tech employment, to the overall economy is well understood. All levels of government are courting these industries. This pursuit occurs as the old economy is dying, while the high tech sector is growing and creating many high paying jobs. To attract such companies an area needs to become recognized as a region where such companies wish to locate or start up. High tech industries generally concentrate in areas where other similar companies exist. This is the result of the “spin off” effect created by high tech companies. Consequently it is important for a region to create an identity as a high tech incubator.
Propeller heads, DigiMators, and Cyber-Techies, are competitive and generally posses a desire to prove who is most capable by demonstrating their skills. The opportunity to compete, and demonstrate their skills, in an organized competition will excite all Cyber-Techies.
In the Corporate Communiqué the case is made that companies will participate in this event or be seen as not supporting the first ever “techie” competition.
