“Leaders keep their eyes on the horizon, not just on the bottom line.”  Warren Bennis
It can be easy to get caught up in the hectic pace of a student routine. But, what if we were looking towards something larger than our day-to-day responsibilities? What if we kept our focus on the horizon?
Horizon, Sprott DECA’s fourth annual conference, is a 3-day event focused on building confident, young leaders through case competitions, workshops, and networking events. In an age of innovation and globalization, there is more opportunity than ever before for students to push the scope of their interests, knowledge and perspective. Through Horizon, you will be encouraged to develop key leadership abilities that push you to ignite change and keep your eyes on the horizon.
Featuring new and exciting venues, workshops and networking activities
