Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Pennsylvania DECA will be conducting our State conference virtually. This page is meant to provide you the resources you need to prepare for and succeed in your online tests & role plays.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For the 2021 State Career Development Conference, the following changes have been made:
- For health and safety concerns due to COVID-19, students in a team event may NOT record presentations in-person together, even if the students live in the same household.
- For role play events, students will now be allowed 2 hours (instead of 60 minutes) to upload their completed role play.
- For written/prepared events, students will not have a time limit for uploading their video. The video must, however, not exceed 15 minutes in length.
- For written/prepared events, editing is allowed. For these events, students may use editing, embedded PowerPoints, or videos in their presentation. Additionally, students may take more than one attempt to record written event presentations.
