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.
STUDENT RATE (BASED ON TYPE OF OCCUPANCY):
For students who will be accompanied by a DECA Advisor: $ ???????
Advisors who agree to supervise students within the SAME school board, can ask to be partially reimbursed for ICDC Registration coverage. A precedent has been set at $300 per student by all school boards in Ontario. This cheque should be made payable to the school and not to Ontario DECA. ADVISOR TO STUDENT RATIO SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1:8 OR THE SCHOOL BOARD’S RATIO; WHICHEVER IS STRICTER.
NOTE: Students will be housed in Quadruple Occupancy Rooms. Exceptions to student housing will be made upon request.

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.
