LEARN MORE ABOUT ICDC

The DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC) is the culmination of the DECA year, as more than 19,000 high school students, advisors, business professionals and alumni gather for several days of DECA excitement!

DECA members demonstrate their college and career ready knowledge and skills by participating in DECA’s industry-validated Competitive Events Program (aligned with Career Clusters, National Curriculum Standards and 21st Century Skills) in the areas of marketing, finance, hospitality, management and entrepreneurship. To be eligible to compete at ICDC, members must place in the top 4 in their competitive event at the State Career Development Conference.

In addition, thousands of members participate in DECA’s Emerging Leader Series, which helps them attain 21st Century Skills in the areas of collaboration, teamwork, communication, critical thinking, problem solving and creativity. One highlight is the involvement of executive mentors who provide college and career advice.
