HOSA Competition Events Practice Test

The event that has its topic announced at the conclusion of the International Leadership Conference is the one that requires contestants to prepare a formal speech on a topic provided by the organizers. The reason this timing makes the most sense is that Prepared Speaking is built around delivering a well-prepared, on-topic speech, so distributing the topic after the conference ensures all participants receive the same prompt and then have time to craft and rehearse their speeches before competition. Other events typically use prompts or research topics that are handled differently in the competition timeline, so they don’t rely on the topic being announced at the conference’s end.
