The Florida Leadership Training Conference in the fall, October 23 to 26, for students interested in becoming an officer. This conference aims to equip student leaders with the ability to run a successful TSA chapter.
Regional
The Manatee Regional Conference is a one-day, November 16, local district competition in the Winter. Students will compete against TSA members from other schools in a series of competitive events. This will help students to practice for the Florida State Competition.
State
The main state competition in Spring, February 19 to 22, is is one of the largest competitions held during the academic school year. Thousands of students arrive in Orlando near the end of February with the goal of a first place in their TSA event(s). Students compete over three days, and the culmination of all the hard work comes at the awards ceremony on Saturday evening.
National
Evolution of excellence
The national competition in the summer, June 27 to July 1. The final event of the TSA year is the national conference in Nashville, TN. Students have the opportunity to compete against teams from across the nation, and a few from other nations!
