Maximize Your Skills at the Fall Leadership Conference

The SkillsUSA Florida Fall Leadership Conference is your opportunity to learn more about how to grow as a leader, network with peers and employers from across the state, and MAXIMIZE your potential as a future leader in Florida’s future workforce. Join us in Leesburg, FL, on November 9-11, 2026!

Students will develop teamwork, communication, and problem-solving through an immersive experience. Participants are organized into conference “chapters” and learn more about chapter operations, working in committees, and how to evaluate their own work and progress.

Advisors, you are invited to attend the Chapter Management Institute (CMI), which runs concurrently with Maximize.

While students are learning their role in chapter operations, advisors will work with SkillsUSA facilitators to develop a toolbox of resources to use in your chapter and classroom. They will leave the conference with incredible ways to ensure their students can reap all the benefits of SkillsUSA participation. Separate tracks are available for new and experienced advisors – check out the conference guide below for more details, including costs and deadlines. CMI registration includes all activities, overnight accommodations, and meals for 3 days.

On November 10, all advisors are invited to attend the Advisor Meeting and Planning Session (AMPS), regardless of whether they participate in the Chapter Management Institute. At AMPS, we will dig deep into state and national programming for the year, state-level support available, and work in career clusters to evaluate and support our competitions. We will also host the annual Advisor Business Meeting. Registration includes workshops from 9 AM to 2 PM, including lunch. There is NO COST to attend AMPS!
