State Leadership Conference

March 12-15, 2026

During the Annual State Leadership Conference, Business Professionals of America members are provided an opportunity to develop their leadership skills, personal and professional growth, and career-related competencies. Involvement in Business Professionals of America enhances social awareness, civic responsibility, and understanding of the business community. The state leadership conference (SLC) is the highlight of the Michigan Association year, and helps more than 2,000 members accomplish these objectives.

The 54th Annual State Leadership Conference will be held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on March 12-15, 2026 at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.

The parade of presidents, workshops, state officer elections, Workplace Skills Assessment Program events, and a semi-formal are the highlights of the conference. Delegates are able to meet people and make many new friends. More than 100 schools located throughout the state will attend the conference. 

Relive the memories of our 2025 SLC
