What Our Members Are Saying

The ACTFL Convention & World Languages Expo is unparalleled as far as the variety and richness of sessions and workshops. It’s exciting to see first-time attendees when they enter the exhibit hall and discover all the latest resources, technology, and advocacy that is available to them. Once you attend the annual convention, you’ll be hooked and want to return year after year.
