2024 MACCDC

2024 Scenario & Location

Over the past 19 years, the MACCDC has sought to create an original experience for not only the student teams, but all participants. Introducing competition themes and scenarios that imitate the real world add a dimension of realism and fun, while at the same time, highlighting real life issues: Free and secure elections, natural disasters, a global pandemic, to name a few.

Stay tuned for the 2024 scenario.

The in-person Job Fair and Regional Finals (competition) will take place at the Prince George’s Community College’s Center For Performing Arts 301 Largo Rd, Largo, MD 20774, dates TBD.
