This is more than a competition. It's where legends are made.

5th
Anniversary

From Sydney to the world stage

Five years ago, we started with a simple question: Who are the fastest, most accurate TM1 professionals in the world?

Since then, the TM1 World Championship has traveled from Sydney to London, Stuttgart, Las Vegas, Würzburg and the stage at IBM TechXchange in Orlando.

For our 5th Anniversary, we brought the finals to Ehningen, Germany — home to the world's largest TM1 End User Conference.
