HOTEL ETIQUETTE
Rooms should be kept in an orderly fashion during
the conference so that hotel staff may provide service
to all rooms. If you have excess trash such as pizza
boxes, fast food items, etc., please ask for trash bags
and keep the rooms neat and clean. Rooms left with
damage will be reported to conference headquarters
and your school will be billed. Please help us maintain
the excellent reputation DECA has with conference
hotels. Quiet hours on sleeping floors are 10:00 p.m.
until 6:00 a.m.

UNAUTHORIZED GUESTS AND CURFEW
The hotel will have other guests in addition to DECA
members. Please respect everyone’s right to privacy
and show common courtesy. No unauthorized guests
are permitted to attend the conference. Individuals
and chapters subject themselves to expulsion from
the conference for permitting unauthorized guests.
Curfew times listed in the conference program mean
that all delegates staying at the hotel must be in their
designated rooms by that time with the doors closed
and noise kept to a minimum.

WORKSHOP ETIQUETTE
Students are expected to show courtesy and respect
to all workshop presenters. All cell phones must be
turned silent and NO TEXTING is allowed. Please
do not leave a session early because it disrupts the
speaker and his or her presentation.
