Adviser Conference
California FBLA brings together business educators from across the state to share ideas, engage in professional development, learn from state and industry leaders, and get FBLA related updates to help guide local chapters onto the path to success.
Section Officer and Adviser Training Days
California is divided into six geographical sections. These training days (also known as OAT Days) are held locally within the sections throughout the state. FBLA students and educators attend this one-day event early in the school year to receive training and materials from the state level to help local chapters plan and prepare for activities and programs for the upcoming year.

Attendees at these events elect section student leaders, conduct section business, and participate in competitions to quality for the state level competitions.
State Leadership Conference
This conference is the culminating state level event of the year! Held in the spring, and rotated between the northern and southern regions of the state, the State Leadership Conference is a multi-day conference with 1,500+ FBLA students in attendance from across the state. Students attend the conference to elect students state leaders, conduct state business, experience leadership and career development training, and engage in statewide competitions to determine who will represent California in national competitions.
National Leadership Conference
California FBLA’s best of the best travel to join thousands of FBLA members from across the country to represent our state at the National Leadership Conference.

For many members attending the National Leadership Conference, it is by far the best opportunity that FBLA offers.
