Why Sponsor the 2025 ACL Annual Conference?
Sponsoring the 2025 ACL Annual Conference connects your company with a highly engaged and mission-driven audience of Christian librarians from universities, colleges, seminaries, K-12 schools, and public libraries around the globe. These professionals are dedicated to advancing their libraries, fostering meaningful connections, and staying at the forefront of trends in librarianship.
This year’s theme, “Libraries: Gems of the Community,” reflects the vital role librarians play as trusted leaders and innovators within their institutions. By sponsoring, you’ll gain direct access to decision-makers and influencers who are actively seeking solutions, resources, and partnerships to better serve their communities.
What’s in it for you?
- Visibility: Showcase your products and services to a unique audience of Christian librarians deeply invested in their work.
- Engagement: Build meaningful relationships during dedicated exhibit times, sessions, and lunch on Tuesday, June 3.
- Brand Recognition: Stand out as a key partner in equipping libraries that are shaping lives and communities.
ACL offers five sponsorship levels designed to fit your marketing goals and budget. Each sponsorship level includes exhibitor opportunities, allowing you to present your offerings directly to conference attendees.
