We are excited to welcome you to Jacksonville for the 2026 Florida State Leadership and Skills State Conference!
Jacksonville is a modern and active city with equal parts Florida Flavor and Southern Hospitality! As the largest city in the continental U.S., Jax is the perfect place for a weekend getaway or a vacation to explore and discover something new, from its extensive park system (the largest in the nation with two national parks, seven state parks, and more than 400 city parks), to its beautiful white-sandy beaches (22 miles of them), and its historic neighborhoods that include Riverside, Avondale, Downtown, Jacksonville, Springfield and Murray Hill.

Ready to give directions, answer questions, provide assistance, or walk you to your destination, the Downtown Ambassadors are Jacksonville's Downtown safety and hospitality team. The Ambassadors are an extra set of eyes and ears on the street, working closely with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and the city. Ambassadors are easily identified in their bright orange polo shirts serving Downtown Jacksonville day and night.
