What is IDIC
The Ivey Digital Innovation Conference (IDIC) is a student-led initiative, running since 2023. Each year, an industry partner contributes a real business challenge, and student teams build a strategic response from the ground up.
Through a case competition, workshops, and networking events, IDIC builds the foundation for a collaborative community that drives innovation at Ivey.
