Q: Where will »»ÆÞ̽»¨ 2025 be held, and how can I register?
A: The 2025 »»ÆÞ̽»¨ Convention will be held from Friday, November 21 through Sunday, November 23, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Q: How does »»ÆÞ̽»¨ use income from the »»ÆÞ̽»¨ Convention & Expo?
A: As a non-profit organization, »»ÆÞ̽»¨ reinvests the net income from dues, business activities, and events like the Convention directly into the association to provide ongoing support to teachers of all languages. »»ÆÞ̽»¨ exists solely to serve our mission to provide vision, leadership and support for quality teaching and learning of languages.
Q: How does »»ÆÞ̽»¨ determine registration rates for the Convention?
A: »»ÆÞ̽»¨ prioritizes keeping Convention registration rates as low as possible for attendees and presenters so that worldclass professional development opportunities remain accessible to as many language educators as possible.
For this reason, registration rates have increased at a slower pace than the cost of hosting the event. While costs have continued to rise steeply to match inflation in the economy, we have found solutions to limit the direct impact of these costs on our attendees while providing the same high-quality event year over year. Because revenue generated by registration does not fully cover the Convention’s overall cost per attendee, the difference is supplemented by exhibitor revenue.
