This year's Annual Meeting of the American Comparative Literature Association will be held in person at the University of Houston, May 20-23, 2027, and online, May 15 & 16, 2027.
Our conferences average 3,000 attendees at all stages of their careers: graduate students; directors and chairs of leading programs and departments; independent comparatists whose work lies outside the academy; and scholars whose work involves literature, culture, and the interactions between literature and other forms of human activity, including the arts, the sciences, philosophy, and cultural artifacts of all kinds.
All exhibitor packages include access to physical and/or virtual booths for all days of the conference and an opportunity to engage with students and academics at all stages of their careers.
Regular, in-person booths will be placed in high-traffic areas of our conference space at the University of Houston. Physical booths come with one banquet-size table, two chairs, and complimentary registration for up to two representatives. If you need a larger space, select the “large booth” option for two banquet-size tables and complimentary registration for four representatives.
Exhibitors can also choose to use the virtual conference platform, either alone or with an in-person booth. The platform has been designed by ACLA staff with our particular needs in mind: the ability to hold open meeting time as well as to schedule private meetings, options to upload or link to all sorts of content, and other customizations.
If you plan to purchase advertising at ACLA 2027 as well, consider one of our exhibitor-sponsor options! Silver sponsors receive both online and in-person booths, program and web advertisements, and a spot in our sponsor list. Gold sponsors receive the same, plus a logo on physical signage at the venue, which is not available for purchase separately.
