Important notes:

  • Students MUST be available for the entire conference. DO NOT ask to leave early.
  • All students must be in professional dress. Guys: slacks, shirt, tie, dress shoes, dress socks (jacket preferred). Girls: slacks or skirt, career blouse with jacket or sweater set. Girls must wear dress shoes and pantyhose, if you are in a skirt.
  • Students must adhere to DECA code of conduct
  • Parking is an issue so allow plenty of time to find a spot and try to carpool, if you can.
  • Be sure to eat lunch before you get to the school; a snack will be provided.
  • Arrive at the student union at Livermore High School not before 12 and not after 12:30, to check in. There is a map available on the Foothill Web site at: Foothill Sports Directions The address is 600 Maple St. Take Stanley Blvd to Livermore. Stanley turns into First Street; take this through downtown. Cross Livermore Avenue in the center of downtown; go another two blocks to Maple. Turn right onto Maple Street: the school is four blocks from First Street on the right.
