To find the event for you :
1. Choose Your Cluster
Most DECA events are one of four clusters: Marketing, Hospitality and Tourism, Finance, and Business Management and Administration.
Try thinking about which area is most interesting for you. This way to you can elimate the clusters to don't like and only look through events that are in clusters that appeal to you.
2. Written vs. Role-play
Choosing between the two may seem rather easy, but it is important to weigh the pros and cons of both types of events :
- If you enjoy thinking on your feet and don’t mind improvising a presentation in 10 to 30 minutes – depending on the event – then role-plays are for you. However, if you prefer preparing beforehand to present but don’t mind writing anywhere from 10 to 20 pages, consider doing a written event.
- However, don’t let the thought of writing a prospectus prevent you from contemplating a written event. A little added time and effort can go a long way in helping you proceed to DECA’s International Career Development Conference.
3. Ask a Leader
If you’re still in a quandary over what to choose, reach out to your chapter’s advisor or leaders.
They probably know your skills very well and are the best people to go to if you’re open to suggestions on what event to choose. Even if you’re a new member and the advisor or officers don’t know you that well, they can still gauge which event suits you best. Plus, it’s a great way to connect with your chapter advisors!
5. Personal Touch
Think about how you can put a personal spin on your event. How can you take an event and make it your own?
If you can think of an interesting and unique way to present a topic and can have fun with it, that event is probably perfect for you!
Your VP's want to openly ask questions and clear your dobuts. So they have given thier emails and phone numbers to you guys if you want to call them or set up a meeting.

No worries!
Selecting an Event can be confusing if you don't exactly know what each event is about. Talk to your Leaders/Mentor to get a better understanding of all the different events that DECA has to offer.
