Emerging Leader Summit

Registration will open in Spring 2026

‍

Registration is a two-step process:

1. DECA members must first be in our online membership system.
   
2. Once submitted, you can register them for the conference through our online registration system by selecting “Conferences.”

‍

For complete registration instructions, please refer to the conference registration guide.

The conference registration fee applies to DECA members, advisors and chaperones, and includes the following:

• Conference workshops
• Conference materials
• Conference t-shirt
• Conference insurance
• Saturday luncheon
• Saturday evening activity

All student attendees must be on a submitted DECA membership roster to register. Collect the following information from each attendee to complete the registration process:

• First name
• Last name
• T-shirt size
• Track
• Dietary restrictions

Conference participants must stay at the conference hotel. Make your hotel reservations in the online registration system with DECA Inc. Due to the limited number of rooms, students will be housed in triples and quads when possible.

Once the hotel block has been filled, registration will not be able to be submitted, and DECA will attempt to secure additional housing. After the registration deadline, DECA Inc. will submit the rooming list to the hotel. Once the hotel provides confirmation numbers, DECA Inc. will forward those to advisor.
