What is a common activity at DECA conferences?

Workshops on business skills and leadership development are a fundamental aspect of DECA conferences. These workshops are designed to equip members with essential competencies in a variety of business-related areas such as marketing, finance, hospitality, and entrepreneurship. Participants have the opportunity to engage with industry professionals and experts who share valuable insights, strategies, and techniques that can enhance their knowledge and skills.

Such workshops also promote networking among peers who share similar interests and goals, allowing members to build connections that can be beneficial for their future careers. This focus on education and development aligns closely with DECA's mission to prepare leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management.

While social gatherings and fun events, community service projects, and media presentations may occur during conferences, they do not serve the primary educational purpose that workshops fulfill, which are central to the DECA experience and contribute significantly to personal and professional growth among members.
