Who can attend the DECA International Career Development Conference?

The attendance at the DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC) is specifically designed for qualifying DECA members and advisors. This means that not just any DECA member can attend, but rather those who have achieved certain qualifications through competitions or other DECA activities that demonstrate their skills and commitment to the organization. Additionally, advisors play a crucial role in guiding these members and ensuring that they are prepared for the conference, making their presence essential.

Qualifying members often participate in local, state, or regional competitions, and those who excel in these events are then invited to represent their chapter on an international stage. This structured qualification process ensures that the conference features dedicated and skilled individuals who are serious about their DECA experience, creating a more enriching environment for networking and professional development.
