2026 Inland Section Leadership Conference (ISLC)

The CA FBLA Inland Section Leadership Conference returns in 2026 as a high-energy showcase of student leadership, career skills, and chapter excellence. FBLA members from across the Inland Section will connect for a full day of competitive events, hands-on workshops, inspiring keynote moments, and networking with peers and industry partners. Chapters will test their business and CTE knowledge, sharpen professional skills (from public speaking to data analysis), and earn recognition, with top performers advancing toward the State Leadership Conference. Advisers will also benefit from collaborative sessions and best-practice sharing. Join us to celebrate student achievement and power up your chapter’s impact for the year ahead and reach beyond the stars in Inland Section!

Existing advisors should have already received information but if you are a new or prospective chapter and would like to attend, please contact Section Director John Pierce at jpierce@cafbla.org

See you this February!
