Career Development Conferences
DECA conferences bring our members into the larger DECA community while providing unique opportunities to extend classroom learning. Career Development Conferences provide a venue for DECA’s Competitive Events Program as well as additional career and leadership development programs. Chartered (state) associations host their own CDCs to determine which members earn the right to represent them at the International Career Development Conference (ICDC).
