Montana DECA educational conferences are targeted, highly-focused learning experiences for students and advisors that support National Curriculum Standards and the development of 21st Century Skills. DECA conferences bring our members into the larger DECA community while providing unique opportunities to extend classroom learning. Each of Montana DECA’s educational conferences connects with corporate professionals to engage students in learning industry-related trends and content.

The State Career Development Conferences provides a venue for DECA’s Competitive Events Program as well as additional career and leadership development programs. Top placing competitors will earn the right to represent Montana at the International Career Development Conference in Anaheim, CA late April.
