Middle Level Conference Registration Now Open!

Middle Level Conference

High School Advisers and Middle School Teachers without active chapters – If you would like to attend this event as a volunteer, we would love to show you what middle level is all about! Please complete this form if interested and feel free to share the link with any business professionals in your life that you think might be interested!

 

After outgrowing both Elizabethtown Community College and Somerset Community College, the third annual Kentucky FBLA Middle Level State Leadership Conference will be held at Western Kentucky University on March 12, 2026. All middle school competitors are invited to attend (there is no pre-qualifier for this conference). It is not too late to start a middle level chapter, add members or earn chapter recognition. I would strongly recommend electronic payments for all members at this time. Blue Panda conference registration is now open and will close on February 1 at 5PM EST. All recognition forms are also due by February 1 at 5PM EST.

Conference Registration: Blue Panda

 

Highlights:

  • Location: Western Kentucky University – Downing Student Union

  • $20 registration fee

  • $10 extra for students in multiple events

  • Conference t-shirts are included for everyone registered (collect sizes now so you’ll have them ready to enter during registration)

  • Lunch is not included as there are many options inside DSU, there will be an optional $11 add on if you would like to purchase buffet tickets in advance

  • Your competitive event guidelines are your best resource for event information, rules, guidelines, rubrics, etc. I find myself looking things up often as we have new events and events that change in some way every single year. Remember to reference the Kentucky version as we do some things differently than what would be found on the national site due to past participation data.
