IMC's Tech Race at HKUST

Think you can code fast under pressure?

Join IMC for our Tech Race and put your speed and problem-solving to the test. You'll take on 20 rapid, diverse problems spanning computer-science fundamentals and race to the top of a live leaderboard that tracks every team in real time — the first to finish wins. There is no setup and no installs; just you, your peers and our in-house tech platform. Along the way you'll meet the technologists who build the systems behind IMC's trading, and see how far fast, clean code can take you.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Solve 20 rapid problems spanning computer-science fundamentals
• Track your progress on a live, real-time leaderboard
• Compete head-to-head against your peers
• Bring your laptop and a problem-solving mindset

Throughout the session there will be food and refreshments, the opportunity to network with IMC'ers, and prizes for our top performers.
