From a sell-out crowd of loyal fans waiting for the opening kickoff to a high-profile entertainer eager to take the stage for an encore presentation, sports and entertainment marketing provides a rush for those interested in these career areas. When it comes to learning from the professionals in these popular industries, DECA’s Sports and Entertainment Marketing Conference cannot be rivaled.

DECA’s Sports and Entertainment Marketing Conference returns to Orlando on February 1-5, 2023.

Known as one of the world’s premier locations for family entertainment and home to world-class professional and college sports, Orlando provides the perfect backdrop for this dynamic conference experience. Each day, DECA members will learn from four executives – two from the sports marketing industry and two from the entertainment industry – who are part of well-recognized brands.

Here’s a look at a few of the speakers you can expect at this year's event.
