Cybis Productions proudly returned to the Future Business Leaders of America’s (FBLA) highly anticipated National Leadership Conference, bringing our expertise in live event production to the forefront of student leadership once again. This year, we were honored to serve as the creative force behind both the middle school/high school and collegiate conferences, which collectively drew over 16,000 aspiring leaders from across the nation and beyond.
The NLC is the pinnacle of the FBLA experience, where students compete in leadership events, showcase their talents, and explore exciting new career paths. Over the course of four action-packed days, attendees can participate in workshops, check out exhibits, and support fellow students running for national office. This dynamic environment demands nothing short of excellence, and Cybis was thrilled to meet and exceed these expectations, delivering an unforgettable experience!
Our partnership with FBLA is a story of rekindled collaboration. After having served as their event production partner from 2005-2009, then again in 2011,, we are thrilled to have reestablished this relationship, and have now produced their NLC for two consecutive years! Our return to this partnership is a testament to the trust and confidence FBLA places in Cybis to deliver inspiring, professional events that leave a lasting impact on its members.
With nearly three decades of experience supporting student leadership organizations, Cybis has continually pushed the envelope with imaginative designs and cutting-edge show technology. This year’s NLC was no exception. The theme of this year’s event, “Together We Achieve,” perfectly embodied the collaborative spirit that drives both FBLA’s mission and our own work at Cybis.
As we reflect on another successful year with FBLA, we are proud of the boundaries we’ve pushed and the memorable experiences we’ve crafted. Cybis looks forward to continuing this partnership and empowering the next generation of leaders for years to come!
“Visit Orlando is The Official Tourism Association® for Orlando, the most visited destination in the United States and Theme Park Capital of the World,” and Cybis has had the honor of serving this esteemed organization time and time again. Within this long-standing alliance, we have exponentially increased the number of shows produced from year to year for Visit Orlando, a clear testament to the quality of production we provide here at Cybis!
While the tourism bureau focuses on promoting Orlando, our team is focused on showcasing their incredible attributes to a greater, global audience. Since 2021, Cybis has produced Visit Orlando’s three annual luncheons: the Travel & Tourism Event in May, the Insights Economic Forum & Luncheon in August, and the Year-End Celebration in December.
As with all beginning stages of a live production, we listened to the team’s specific visions for the event, style, scripting, and stage environment. Custom, elegant set design, motion graphics, and scripted moments helped to highlight trends and opportunities that will shape the future of Orlando and tourism in our city.
From luncheons to international press releases, Cybis has produced a variety of events for Visit Orlando in many of Orlando’s most premiere locations, fitting to say the least! These locations include the Dr. Phillips Center, the Amway Center, Orange County Convention Center, and even local venue sellouts. With Cybis’ commitment to Total Show Management for all of our clients, we aim to fulfill promises and exceed expectations. We greatly cherish our partnership with Visit Orlando as it continues to keep us on our feet with new shows and new challenges on the horizon!

Cybis has teamed up with Business Professionals of America since 2007 to host their annual National Leadership Conferences. Always set in a big city, over 6,000 attendees gather to be honored on the national stage. Students ranging from middle school to collegiate level have the opportunity to attend four general sessions with Cybis’ high-quality production support and total show management.
Featuring a red-carpet pre-show, a custom stage design, a unique center screen and themed motion graphics, Cybis uses creative technology, our technical expertise, and comprehensive understanding of making a moment to connect students with one-of-a-kind learning experiences.
For the past two NLCs, Team Cybis had the opportunity to bring our expertise to the Anaheim Convention Center Arena in 2023 and the Hilton Chicago in 2024!

In a monumental move that marks a new era, the Pennsylvania Future Business Leaders of America (PA FBLA) and Team Cybis proudly announced their continued partnership as they made the move to a new and larger venue. For over two decades, Team Cybis has grown alongside PA FBLA, orchestrating seamless conferences at the Hershey Lodge. With success and growth in both organizations and growing registration numbers, the decision was made to move the event to the state-of-the-art Giant Center, a momentous milestone in our collaborative journey.
"We've grown with PA FBLA for 22 years, witnessing their incredible growth and achievements. It's an honor to have played a crucial role in their journey," remarked Jeff Douglass, CEO and founder of Cybis. The decision to relocate from the familiar confines of the Hershey Lodge reflects both the expanding scale of the PA FBLA events and Cybis' commitment to delivering unparalleled live event experiences, opening up new avenues for innovation and engagement.
Cybis has meticulously crafted productions with cutting-edge technology and awe-inspiring stage setups, ensuring a seamless transition to the new venue. Now with two state conferences under our belts in this arena, we are poised to grow with the organization’s ever-increasing number of attendees. As PA FBLA embraces this new chapter, Team Cybis stands ready to continue creating unforgettable moments that inspire and empower the future leaders of Pennsylvania's business community.
Cybis has had the privilege of partnering with GrowFL since 2019 for their annual Florida Companies to Watch (FLCTW) event. This event has allowed GrowFL to promote growing companies and thriving entrepreneurs in the Sunshine State. Along with providing a networking opportunity for the Honorees and Sponsors in attendance, GrowFL shines as Florida’s only organization exclusively dedicated to the acceleration of second-stage companies. While GrowFL focuses on the growth of these successfully-growing businesses, Cybis focuses on creating an event experience for their upscale audience members!
The special relationship between Cybis and GrowFL allows the organizations to mutually benefit from one another—Cybis assists with all pre-production, creates custom motion graphics, serves as a knowledgeable consulting party, and builds the beautiful stage present at Florida Companies to Watch events year after year. In return, GrowFL gathers some of the most notable entrepreneurs and businesses in Florida for their annual ceremony.
Special opportunities like these afford Cybis a new market of potential customers while also elevating the great work being done by GrowFL. From supporting a live event to fully producing a virtual FLCTW in an LED studio space, Cybis is excited to have returned to the live environment for their 2022 event and looks forward to continuing to set the stage for this esteemed organization.
HOSA–Future Health Professionals has partnered with Cybis since 2007 for the production of their annual International Leadership Conference. This long standing relationship has established a great deal of trust, which allows Team Cybis to test all creative limits of event production. When the audience comes from so many countries across the globe, Cybis steps up to the challenge of exceeding their expectations.
This year, Cybis built a stage inspired by the “in-the-round” concept. A stage in-the round is exactly how it sounds: it is placed in the center of a space and the audience is placed 360 degrees surrounding the stage. However, in order to accommodate a centrally-located VIP room and winner staging area, Cybis created more of a “north and south” stage. The audience had the same view of the stage from both sides, so the conference was able to seat half of the attendees on one side and half on the other.
After two years of virtual conferences, Cybis’ goal was to create a sense of connection as people came back together. With a creative LED archway, HOSA International Officers and special speakers were able to switch back and forth to either side of the stage and address both sides of the audience. It was important to not make either side feel as if the show was being directed more toward one than the other. Projection screens provided a look into what was happening from all angles, on all sides, at any moment, immersing the audience into every element of the show regardless of which side the action was actually on.
Creative opportunities like this are the highlight of producing live events. Being able to create an amazing experience for over 10,000 people inspires Team Cybis to continue supporting events and organizations that are also doing creative and unthinkable things. With a strong dedication to inspiring audiences, Cybis is committed to going above and beyond whenever possible to create the experience of a lifetime for leaders of all ages!
The process of producing live events involves more than just lights, camera, action. The pre-production phase of a live event is where many companies struggle. And companies who shine in pre-production generally have to outsource other aspects of production, such as gear rental, staffing, and show execution. Cybis excels in total show management: a turnkey approach to producing live events. Organizations who partner with Cybis experience a “one-stop shop” — one point of contact for all event-related aspects.
For BPA, Cybis provided all event production services: scriptwriting, logo creation, graphics creation, stage design, room diagramming, production team staffing, venue coordination, vendor coordination, audiovisual equipment, on-site talent coaching, creative consulting, and served as the backbone in all other general session/awards ceremony-related situations.
In the days approaching show time, Cybis’s elite team of production and staging professionals gather to walk through the production of the entire event. No matter the role, every team member knows the event from start to finish, a key to our success. As BPA leaders arrive, they are given personal attention to hone in on their speaking and presentation skills. While our clients are being personally coached, the technical aspects of the show are taken care of in the background. Witnessing an event from inception to completion is a truly amazing experience, especially because the entire process is produced internally here at Cybis.
Cybis had the privilege of partnering with E2open for the first time to produce their CONNECT 2022 Customer Conference. E2open’s global conference serves as a hub for networking professionals, influential individuals, and industry solutions. While their company focuses on providing solutions to their customers, our team is focused on creating solutions for the show.
With Cybis’ commitment to Total Show Management for all of our clients, we aim to fulfill promises by exceeding expectations. During the pre-production phase of this project, we listened to the E2open team’s vision for the event, environment, and stage. What we gave them was a custom-built, client-inspired stage with multiple projection spaces, personalized lighting designs, and professional elegance to highlight the mission, message, and leadership of E2open.
When showtime finally arrived, the Cybis team was all-hands-on-deck. Since the talented people on our team tour with us for multiple events in our show season, they are equipped with the knowledge and experience of a smooth sailing production. Cybis continues to go above and beyond the call of duty, executing flawless excellence for our client’s live event experience.
The Orlando Economic Partnership has collaborated with Cybis on a number of high-profile projects over the last several years and considers Cybis to be a true partner in every sense of the word. From stage and event design to on-site show management, scripting, video production and beyond, the final product always exceeds expectations. — The Orlando Economic Partnership
Orlando continues to choose Cybis for all of its audiovisual and production needs — Cybis has produced shows all over Central Florida for a range of different organizations. We treat every production with the individual care and attention it deserves in order to exceed the expectations of the audience and our clients.
Over the past five years, Cybis has built a successful, mutually beneficial relationship with the Orlando Economic Partnership. With the many productions of their James B. Greene Awards Dinners, and the Alliance for Regional Transportation Kick-off Event in 2018, Cybis continues to partner with OEP and provide audiovisual support for various special events.
As the Orlando Economic Partnership began planning their yearly paramount event, they knew to put their trust in Team Cybis to produce the 2019 Annual Dinner. To recognize the region’s transformation as well as honor the recipients of the James B. Greene and Schwartz Innovation awards, this momentous occasion took place in the world-class Amway Center.
While this was our first time at the Amway Center, we are proud to have now served major events in all the large-scale venues in Orlando – Hard Rock Live, House of Blues, Dr. Phillips Center, Orange County Convention Center, and numerous Orlando and Disney area hotels.
In the case of OEP’s Annual Dinner, Cybis ensured that every aspect of the event would be a comprehensive and fluid experience. To maintain the night’s high energy, attendees migrated from the upscale reception in the Amway Center lobby to the Arena floor accompanied by upbeat music throughout the Center’s tunnels. The stage, designed by Cybis and built to represent infinite expansion, was beautifully lit; equipped with unique motion graphics; and surrounded by the colorful, custom arena ribbon. To tie the motion graphics to the city, Board members of OEP were introduced by the Orlando Magic’s announcer in front of personalized graphics inspired by the Magic team.
Tim Giuliani, President & CEO of the Orlando Economic Partnership, spoke to the audience of 800 about the state of the organization, state of Orlando, and release of the Orlando Prosperity Scorecard. The night concluded with a speech from Harris Rosen, the 2019 James B. Greene Award recipient, and President and COO of Rosen Hotels & Resorts. Cybis served as the Exclusive Production Sponsor for the event as OEP celebrated the economic progress and community development in the Orlando area.
The Orlando Economic Partnership represents seven counties in Central Florida and is involved in establishing partnerships through networks, supporting businesses, and developing the economic arena of the region. Cybis continues to support these types of organizations that cultivate growing groups and individuals to contribute to the betterment of our society and nation.
