PDC Idea Track Showcase

​Join us for PDC Idea Track Showcase! Celebrate and support UMD’s emerging student innovators as they pitch bold new concepts, share what they’ve learned, and push their ideas one step closer to reality.

​You’ll experience a welcoming, high-energy environment where creativity thrives, early-stage ideas shine, and the entrepreneurial spirit is contagious.

​Your presence matters — come cheer them on, encourage their growth, and be part of the moment where big dreams start to take shape.

​Part of the Pitch Dingman Competition, UMD’s signature venture competition awarding $170,000 in seed funding across multiple tracks, the Luby Idea Track is built for students at the very beginning of their entrepreneurial journey. From notebook scribbles to first prototypes, these founders are taking their first big step.
