Build your customer base

Why Exhibit?

The 2024 ACTFL Annual Convention and World Languages Expo is the place to be in the language education marketplace. ACTFL attendees are highly respected educators who are looking for the latest products and services available for their students and their classrooms. They are prepared to make purchasing decisions based on what they see on the exhibit floor.

If you wish to build your customer base by having face-to-face contact with more than 7,000 language educators, the ACTFL Annual Convention and World Languages Expo is a can’t-miss opportunity!

Exhibit space is selling very quickly for ACTFL 2024! View the interactive Exhibit Hall Floor Plan and Exhibitor List. Please note that all blue booths are available to reserve (yellow/green are reserved). Once you find a location you would like, fill out the Exhibit Space Contract and confirm your participation by emailing it to cbloyer@actfl.org. As a reminder, furnishings are NOT included in the cost of the booth space. This includes carpet, table(s), chair(s), electricity. Furnishings may be purchased through our decorating company, or you can provide your own. If you provide your own carpeting/flooring, it must be approved by ACTFL.

For current exhibitors: PLEASE disregard every single email/call you may receive from people/companies claiming to have the “ACTFL Attendee List” for sale, as well as people/companies asking you to make your hotel reservations. These are SCAMS (ALL OF THEM – ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS). We encourage you to block/spam emails and not respond to them.
