Washington DECA’s State Career Development Conference (SCDC) is one of the largest, most exciting, and most rewarding experiences in all of DECA!

Over the course of the conference, hundreds of industry judges and DECA volunteers assess and evaluate thousands of DECA students in competitive events. DECA’s emerging leaders are put to the test with an examination and multiple rounds of presentations. The winners are revealed and Washington DECA’s competition delegation for the International DECA competition is announced.

Visit select local restaurants and shops while at SCDC! Proceeds raised will support DECA member conference scholarships.
