The Fall Leadership Conference: Gearing Up for Greatness (November 20-21, 2024)
Calling all FBLA officers and future leaders! This Athens-based conference is your chance to level up your leadership skills faster than you can say "business plan." Think strategic planning workshops, team-building challenges that'll make Escape Rooms jealous, and enough inspiration to fuel your chapter's achievements all year long.
The Region Leadership Conference: Battle Royale or Business Buddies? (Dates TBA - Likely Mid-Late January)
Get ready to rumble (with business ideas, that is) at the Region Leadership Conference! This competition-focused event lets you showcase your skills in events like Accounting I, Graphic Design, or Hospitality & Event Management. It's your chance to prove you're a business whiz and maybe even make some new FBLA besties along the way. Plus, who doesn't love a little friendly competition? Just remember, sportsmanship is key (unless it's a Client Service competition, then unleash your inner charm offensive!).
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
The Georgia FBLA State Leadership Conference: It's Showtime, Baby! (March 14-15, 2025)
This Atlanta showstopper is the granddaddy of all Georgia FBLA conferences. We're talking competitive events galore, workshops led by industry rockstars, and the chance to rub shoulders with the FBLA elite (don't worry, they probably won't have actual shoulder pads, business casual is the name of the game). This is your opportunity to shine, network like a pro, and maybe even snag that coveted state officer title.
The FBLA National Leadership Conference: The Ultimate Business Beach Bash (Anaheim, CA, June 28-July 2, 2025)

Think workshops with national experts, a chance to compete against the best of the best, and an expo hall overflowing with business goodies. It's basically a business-themed amusement park, and you're the VIP guest.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
Important Note: While the National Leadership Conference is technically not in Georgia, it's the ultimate FBLA dream come true, so we just had to mention it.
