As we kick off the new year, we’re excited to announce another reason to look forward to the 2026 FBLA National Leadership Conferences. 
Joining us in both Vegas and San Antonio for an unforgettable keynote is Jared Ebersole, FBLA high school alumnus, entrepreneur, and CEO and co-founder of Lectec.
Jared’s story begins where most FBLA stories do, as a student asking real questions about the real world. Struggling to stay engaged in traditional classrooms, he found inspiration in building with his hands. That passion eventually led to Lectec, a hands-on STEM education company that he later pitched on ABC’s Shark Tank.
During his inspiring keynote, Jared will share his journey from FBLA member to entrepreneur, and what it takes to build, fail, and lead.
NLC 2026 will be the perfect opportunity to Make Your Mark! Start connecting with your advisers now to make a plan to attend FBLA’s premier event of the year.
