The ICPC is pleased to announce the ICPC North America Championship. Top teams from the ICPC North America Regional Contests will advance to the ICPC NAC, hosted by the University of Central Florida. The top teams from the ICPC NAC will advance to the ICPC World Finals.

For ICPC North America competition, training begins at the local university, utilizing free educational resources provided by the ICPC community. Students participate in a variety of online training and competition opportunities, including the ICPC North America Qualifiers (ICPC NAQ). Each university selects one or more teams of 3 students to participate in the ICPC North America Regional Contests, hosted by universities throughout North America. The top teams from these regional contests will advance to the ICPC NAC.

Each NAC team will be provided with hotel accommodations for the coach and three contestants. The teams and coaches will be treated to a full schedule of activities including a full course of complimentary food functions. Transportation to the NAC is the responsibility of the team. The ICPC encourages teams to raise funds for transportation and extracurricular activities from local sources to better strengthen community ties among academia, industry, and government.
