FPA LEAD 2027

February 11-12

Denver, CO

FPA LEAD 2027 (formerly the FPA Chapter Leaders Conference) is the one FPA event built entirely around you: the volunteer leaders and executives who keep FPA chapters running, often on top of a full-time job and a full client workload.

This event is two days to celebrate the work you already do, pick up the tools and playbooks that make it easier, and connect with people who understand and appreciate what it means to be a leader.

LEAD IN STYLE

The Hilton Denver City Center is the home base for FPA LEAD 2027, offering the Mile High atmosphere, good walkability, and a room block designed to suit two intensive days (not two exhausting ones). It also has direct flights, a time zone that is generally manageable for most chapter leaders, and a city that is used to providing hospitality.

EXPAND YOUR POSSIBILITIES AT FPA LEAD

CELEBRATE SERVICE

Chapter leadership is a volunteer job with a professional-grade workload. FPA LEAD starts by recognizing that, with real recognition and time built in to acknowledge it.

STREGTHEN SKILLS

From board governance to member engagement to strategic planning, you'll leave with turnkey tools, not just inspiration. Every session is built with FPA chapter leaders in mind.

ELEVATE IMPACT

Your chapter doesn't operate in isolation, and neither should you. Connect with peers running chapters just like yours, trade what's working, and go home with a playbook to make your role easier.
