This year’s theme, “The Magic of Sound Financial Stewardship,” celebrates the important work school finance professionals perform every day. Although we may not have enchanted wands or spellbooks, we possess something equally powerful: knowledge, judgment, and dedication to transform resources into opportunities for students and schools throughout Florida.

Whether you are a seasoned school finance professional or just beginning your journey, the conference offers practical insights from industry experts, innovative solutions, and valuable connections with colleagues from across the state. We encourage you to bring your family and make the week memorable. For information about discounted Universal tickets, visit the Universal desk in the lobby upon arrival.

Our Conference Journey
Tuesday: Opening the Spellbook
The conference opens with a focus on public trust and financial responsibility. Sessions will cover fraud prevention, internal controls, budgeting, financial reporting, district funding, cash flow, construction accounting, credit ratings, and investment options.
The day concludes with our Welcome Reception, an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, build new professional relationships, and discover a few “magical” ideas to take back to your district.

Wednesday: Exploring New Discoveries
Wednesday looks ahead to the evolving needs of school districts, with Department of Education updates and sessions on leadership, grants, payroll, technology modernization, cybersecurity, payment compliance, employee benefits, charter school funding, and peer-led budget discussions.

Thursday: Advanced Magic

Thursday highlights the policies and practices that support effective district operations, including legislation, artificial intelligence, procurement and contracting, human resources, tax considerations, collective bargaining, accounts payable, state-funded programs, insurance cost trends, student course billing, and accounting collaboration.
The day concludes with our Conference Banquet, where we will celebrate accomplishments, enjoy fellowship with colleagues, and recognize the extraordinary work taking place throughout Florida’s school districts.

Friday: The Final Chapter
The conference concludes with updates from the Financial Council, an economic outlook, and the Auditor General, providing valuable perspective on the financial and regulatory environment affecting Florida school districts.

Your Conference Resources
Be sure to check back in on the website for updated information and agenda. Also, don't forget to download the Guidebook app, your conference companion for schedules, announcements, and real-time updates. Presentation materials will be available on FSFOA.org after the conference, allowing you to revisit sessions and share resources with your team.

The real magic is not found in spells or enchanted objects. It is found in dedicated professionals working together to ensure that every dollar serves students, educators, and communities.

We look forward to seeing you in Orlando for a memorable week of learning, collaboration, networking, and just a touch of magic.
