CONFERENCES
- LEADERSHIP CONFERENCES Usually held in the summer or fall, these conferences focus on leadership development and college and career preparation through a variety of engaging workshops and speakers.
- CAREER PATHWAYS CONFERENCES Each of these conferences features highly specialized content that aligns with specific career pathways and courses, providing an excellent opportunity to connect classroom instruction to the conferences.
- CAREER DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCES (CDCs) Usually held in the winter and spring, these conferences provide a venue for DECA’s Competitive Events Program as well as additional career and leadership development programs. Chartered associations host their own CDCs to determine which members earn the right to represent them at the International CDC.
- INTERNATIONAL CDC (ICDC) This is the pinnacle event of the year for more than 12,000 competitors vying for the title of international champion in DECA’s Competitive Events Program. DECA members not competing may participate in DECA’s Emerging Leader Series, designed to equip them to be successful leaders and to obtain success in their college and career pursuits. Other highlights include executive officer elections to select the future student leaders of DECA, as well as networking opportunities with hundreds of business, college and career partners in DECA’s exhibits. Although this conference is managed by DECA Inc., local chapters register to attend through their association advisors.
