ConferenceDress Code:

In recent years  we received many requests as to what were the expectations of the Invitational and the community regarding dress at our different activities.  We will list the dress code here so you and your students can plan accordingly.  We hope you will assure your student’s are dressed appropriately.  Generally, our dress code conforms to Nationals with some exceptions because of timing and buses.  We find the following categories useful to communicate with our students.

Category 1      Anything reasonable. T shirts, jeans, sweats.  The type of stuff worn to be comfortable on the bus.  No bad language or symbols allowed

Category 2     The typical DECA apparel when not participating in an event.  Collared shirts, slacks, skirts, blouses, dresses, etc.  No jeans,  no t-shirts,  no sweats.

Category 2+   Category 2 plus a tie for gentlemen;  no athletic shoes.

Category 3       Full bore dress up.  Coat and tie for gentlemen; similar maximum business attire for ladies.
