The International Career Development Conference (ICDC) is designed to bring together persevering DECA members from around the world to take part in one final competition in their chosen event category. Every year at the end of April, Ontario delegates with all its intensity, heads south to the USA for one week to prepare, perform, and parade our spirit! It will be a sight to be see!
Each year, we represent Canada and we represent to the fullest (click Recognition for our success story and statistics). Students not competing have the opportunity to attend ICDC to participate in one of the many leadership programmes to build on chapter management skills and bring a wealth of ideas back to help improve their local Chapter.

Our method for normalizing is this:
Normalized = [ (score – jMean) / jStdev ] * cStdev + cMean
using the judge that scores them. This is essentially adjusting the means and standard deviations to match that of the conference overall.
