Where are DECA national competitions generally held?

DECA national competitions are held annually at different locations across the United States to provide opportunities for students from various regions to participate and showcase their skills. This approach allows for a diverse participant base and ensures that different areas benefit from hosting the event. By rotating the locations, DECA engages more schools and communities, fostering a wider reach and promoting growth in participation. Hosting the competitions in various cities also enhances accessibility for students from different states, allowing them to compete without facing prohibitive travel distances each year. This model reflects DECA's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility in providing competitive experiences for students nationwide.
