There were among 4,000 registered attendees from 354 chapters to attend the Missouri conference, the largest FBLA state conference in the nation. The conference allows members to expand their leadership skills, compete in various events, and connect with members from across the state.
FBLA members competed in over 75 events ranging from Accounting and Agribusiness to Social Media Strategies and UX Design. The top 10 individuals/teams in each event were awarded medals on stage at JQH Arena.

The leadership conference had nearly twenty exhibitors including universities and military partners for members to connect with, leadership activities for members to engage in, and tours of the College of Business at Missouri State University.
