Annual Conference Exhibit Hall

2025 Conference Exhibit Hall Information

Both members and non-members are invited to exhibit at the International ACAC annual conference. The philosophy of our exhibitor program is to support services that facilitate our international work.

Exhibiting at the annual conference provides opportunities to table and promote your organization in the Exhibit Hall during designated hours, as well as other benefits for participants from your organization.

There is a limited amount of Exhibit Hall space and it is provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Exhibit Hall is now on a waitlist. Kindly submit the application form if you are interested in securing a spot on the waitlist.

If you have questions about any of the above opportunities, please reach out to SponsorshipAndExhibits@InternationalACAC.org.

All participants at the annual conference are invited to enjoy College and Counselor Fairs. Conference registration is required to participate in the fairs for no additional cost.

The College Fair is split into two separate events: Global Universities Fair (non-U.S.) and U.S. Universities Fair. There is also a Counselor Fair, sometimes called a "reverse college fair," which includes secondary school counselors, Independent Educational Consultants, and Community Based Organizations.

No additional registration is required - if you register for the conference under an institution that qualifies to table at any of the Fairs, you will be provided a table automatically.

The annual conference is only possible because of the volunteers that help make it happen! Volunteers are split into the following Committees, each with two Committee Co-Chairs.

• Session Review & Selection 
• Conference Chats Review & Selection 
• College & Counselor Fairs
• Special Events/Service
• First-Timers' 
• Sponsor & Exhibitor Support
• Bursary Review

Volunteers are selected every year through a standard registration process. Members receive the registration form in November to volunteer for the next upcoming conference.
