Welcome to the ASCD 69th Annual Conference and Exhibit Show!

Attend one of the most informative and engaging professional development events for educators at every level.

Join the world’s most powerful educators and education leaders at the 69th ASCD Annual Conference and Exhibit Show.

The conference theme, @Every Learner: Someday Is Now, highlights the necessity to prepare our learners to be creative, critically minded, and compassionate citizens. It is our moral imperative.

The conference will showcase ideas and best-practice strategies that are driving student achievement, and it will unlock ways to boost your own teacher and leadership effectiveness.

Choose from more than 350 sessions, or extend your experience by attending any of our Pre-Conference Institutes along with the conference.

For nearly 70 years, ASCD has been personalizing learning and teaching, engaging students, and advocating for a better tomorrow. 

By choosing to attend our Annual Conference and Exhibit Show, you’re joining educators from across the world who are revolutionizing learning and banding together to bring in a new era in education.

Welcome, ASCD Conference Exhibitors!

In today’s top-down, accountability-driven school market, more and more school spending is controlled at the leadership levels - from state education directors, to district superintendents, to school principals. 

So how can your organization raise its profile at the leadership level in education? By exhibiting at the ASCD Annual Conference and Exhibit Show.

Exhibit with Us!

ASCD - long recognized as one of the premiere organizations in the field - is the only professional association that addresses the needs of education leaders serving in a variety of roles, including state- and district-level superintendents, assistant superintendents, and principals.

The Annual Conference program offers over 300 sessions and the exhibit show features 300 of the most respected names in educational publishing, research, and technology demonstrating the latest products and services.

Our general sessions provide a unique platform for highly respected and visionary difference makers to inspire thousands of the very administrators who will make decisions to shape the future of our education system.
The Opportunity and Demographics

Market your products and services to the educators and business leaders who buy. Few education events rival this opportunity to meet the biggest buyers in a $44 billion U.S. K-12 market alone.

One-quarter of attendees approve or authorize purchases for their organizations.

Another third are involved in recommending purchases.

Many attend this show in teams - most are senior-level personnel with an average of 21 years of experience.

The ASCD Annual Conference lets you target the leaders who control school purse strings.

In fact, ASCD's Annual Conference draws more superintendents and assistant or associate superintendents and more principals and assistant principals than any other single education conference.

Plus, thousands of college faculty, lead teachers, consultants, and key school-level contacts too.
