FBLA's conferences are the highlight of the organization - they provide a forum for students to network with one another, learn about the professional world at workshops, and sometimes compete in academic competitions.

Leadership Development Institute (LDI) - October 20 - 22, 2023
The Leadership Development Institute (LDI) is an overnight non-competitive conference that usually takes place in early November, before the competitive events season begins. At LDI, members have the opportunity to participate in a variety of workshops hosted by both professionals and section officers, take mock tests to prepare for competitive conferences, and network with other FBLA members from over 40 chapters from the nearby southern California sections. Even though it is non-competitive, LDI is a great networking and bonding experience between both members within the chapter and members across different chapters.
