After your DECA ICDC activities have wrapped for the day, explore all that Atlanta has to offer. The city is simply alive, always evolving and raising the bar onone-of-a-kind experiences you’ll be talking about for years to come!

DECA has curated four unique experiences to promote networking opportunities while providing access to food (as three of the experiences include buffets, and the Georgia Aquarium will have concessions available for purchase). Each of these events is exclusive to DECA and not open to the general public.

The attraction ticket request form is now available by clicking here. Because quantities are limited and association conferences take place until late March, DECA will release tickets again on March 2 and March 25 at 1:00 pm ET.

Chapter advisors will only be able to order after their association conference ends. To help with demand, there is a two-step process this year. First, the chapter advisor will complete a ticket request. Then, once confirmed, DECA will process the order in DECA’s online membership system. Once you receive the invoice via e-mail, this is your official confirmation that your chapter’s tickets are ordered.

The deadline to pre-order tickets, if still available, is April 8 at 4:00 p.m. ET. Any remaining tickets will be available on-site while quantities remain. Payment must be received at DECA by April 20.

Tickets must be picked up at the Georgia World Congress Center. The attractions booth will open starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Refer to the ICDC conference program for specific hours through Monday afternoon.
