Q: How does ACTFL determine registration rates for the Convention?
A: Registration rates for the Convention do not correlate to direct costs. ACTFL’s rates have increased at a slower pace than the increase in our direct costs to put on the Convention. ACTFL has worked very hard to keep the Convention registration rates as low as possible for attendees and presenters, despite rising production costs. Registration revenue does not cover the cost of attendance, and exhibitor revenue supplements registration to enable ACTFL to put on the Convention. Additionally, inflation in the economy has increased costs to put on the Convention, but ACTFL has not raised rates in line with the rate of inflation; again, in order to keep pricing as low as possible.
