NEW YORK
EXPERIENCE

It's the concrete jungle where dreams are made,
and the city becomes the living classroom
for DECA members as they explore marketing, finance,
fashion, hospitality and so much more!

The 2020 New York Experience has been canceled.

As there are many different scenarios across our membership and local restrictions continue to make it impossible and impracticable to meet, DECA Inc. will not host in-person events for the remainder of the 2020 calendar year. While we understand educational conferences provide opportunities to experience DECA beyond the classroom, we also prioritize the health, safety and well-being of our DECA community. DECA Inc. will utilize resources to provide more virtual educational opportunities for both the high school and collegiate divisions this fall.
