SV CDC

Aum Patel: “SVCDC went great! I loved watching y’all push yourself to compete in your events, as well as make the most of the opportunity to network with members of other chapters. Our opening session was full of exciting activities with a bingo game, round robin, and a Keynote speaker. On Saturday, after you all CRUSHED your competitive events, we had a game room setup where so many members came to relax and play games with their friends, as well as meet people from other chapters. On Sunday, we got to recognize our winners! Thank you so much if you came to SVCDC, and I look forward to meeting you at SCDC.”

NorCal CDC

Ella Min: “Norcal CDC was a huge success! I loved seeing everyone network, connect, and excel in their competitive events. I also loved playing trivia with everyone in the opening session, and getting to see everyone get glass at their closing. It was so fun to see people enjoy the DECA dance and the DECA game night, where everyone could relax after competition. Thank you so much to our judges, alumni, advisors, and everyone who put this event together to make it all happen. See you next year Norcal!”

SoCal CDC

Rayyan Darugar: “Hey California DECA! Socal CDC this year was an absolutely unforgettable experience. It was an amazing chance for members of DECA to learn, grow, and have a great time. I wanted to share a few highlights and parts that I really loved at the conference: I just wanted to start off by saying the opening session was so much fun. To see all of you guys in person and have you guys take place in some games, do some trivia—congratulations again to our winners—and the energy, you guys absolutely brought it; that’s one thing I can say about SoCal is that we always bring the energy and I’m so proud of you guys for making that happen. The second thing I really wanted to highlight was competition. We had some great workshops, we had some great speakers and performers, and when it came to competition itself, SoCal we brought our A-Game. Test scores were high, our roleplays were high, you could see the energy in the room as you guys were able to Be The One in competition, so really proud to have that. Another big thing was a chance to make connections in the DECA game room. It was a great experience, I personally got to play a few games with you all—Super Smash Bros is always enjoyable—and board games throughout! I cannot wait for States coming up in just a few weeks so be ready for that.
