Marketing Your Products & Services
at AACE's Annual World Conferences

AACE offers your company a variety of ways to interact with top level developers, educators, researchers, and administrators who attend its annual world conferences to learn about and discuss the latest developments, applications, and practical research related to the use of information technology for both educational and business purposes.

The information that attendees gather at each AACE conference will enable them to produce more marketable and useful applications, support their organization’s investment in technology, and make informed purchasing decisions.

The atmosphere at AACE conferences is exciting and energizing. A wealth of knowledge is gathered and exchanged, as professionals from disparate but related fields come from all over the world to meet one-on-one or in small groups and learn about new developments that impact their respective activities. AACE conferences typically draw attendees from over 50 countries.

A Note to Book Publishers: If you publish educational and/or information technology related titles, you will find among our conference participants not only a healthy market for your books, but also a wealth of expertise in the form of accomplished and knowledgeable writers, editors and reviewers.

Prestigious backing - All conferences listed here are organized by AACE, internationally renowned for its contributions toward the advancement of knowledge and learning related to information technology and education.

Participating will allow your company to reach the diverse group of active technology users attending each conference. Sponsoring will enhance your company’s position as an industry leader.

High visibility for your products and services - Opportunities to participate in AACE conferences are limited, so you will have less competition for the attention of attendees than you would at other conferences. Attendees recognize that companies and organizations participating have a vital interest in the goals of the conference itself, and are not just part of a trade show.

Great marketing investment - Combine the advantages of participating with our rates, and you’ll see that these opportunities ensure an excellent return on your investment.

Corporate Showcase

Present your company's recent developments and applications, inform the audience of your future directions, and showcase your company's noteworthy products and services.

Format: 30-minute presentation scheduled during concurrent sessions; presentation rooms generally accommodate up to 100 people, theatre-style. This is more of a formal presentation than the Corporate Demonstration opportunity below.

Equipment provided: Overhead projector, screen, LCD projection system, Internet access.

Cost: Registration fee (includes registration for one person)

Corporate Demonstration

Demonstrate and discuss your company's research, developments and applications, gain feedback, and establish contacts.

Format: 2 hours; scheduled with Poster/Demonstrations grouped together in open exhibition-style, usually all in one hall. This is an informal event with a circulating audience. Sales are permitted: You may stock and sell your product at your table.

Equipment: The Conference does not provide equipment, however, the following materials will be provided:

6' long table

two chairs

4' high x 8' wide poster board

electricity source

If you need computers, or any other equipment, you will need to bring your own or rent equipment. Bear in mind that overhead projectors and slides are not a workable presentation style as the room is usually large, well-lit and there is no room for a screen. If you need other equipment, the name of a rental company can be provided.
Cost: Registration fee (includes registration for one person)
