2023 ACB CONFERENCE AND CONVENTION
Announcement Information & Opportunities
Official Conference Program Advertising
Tell the world about your products and services by placing your ad in the 2023 conference and convention program where there are over 200 pages of information and conference details. The program is published in braille, large print, and electronic formats. It will also be downloadable from the ACB website by June 12, 2023 and archived on the ACB website following the close of the conference.
Large print programs are spiral-bound, black ink on white, 8.5" by 11" pages
- Full-page (7.5” x 10”/no bleed) program ads and covers are available in color on a first come, first-serve basis. Choose the color option and make your announcement stand out from the competition! You will also receive a website banner announcement. The horizontal banner size is 752px X 215px.
- Half (7.5” x 5”/no bleed) and quarter (3.75” x 5”/no bleed) page announcements are only available in black and white.
Please use at least 18-point font when designing your announcement so visually impaired readers can read the print. A smaller font size will allow more words on a page, but it may not be readable by ACBs attendees.
ACB does not provide announcement design services but can advise you as to the readability of your announcement.
Submit program announcements electronically by May 1st, 2023. Email to nbecker@acb.org in an accessible pdf or an accessible word file (converted JPEGs or PNG to pdf files are not accessible). Please include the words "Program announcement" in the subject line.
There's an advertising solution to fit every budget. ACB convention exhibitors receive a $50 discount on the full-page program advertisement: $25 on half and quarter page advertisement.
