2025 Conference Exhibitor Info & Forms:

The Florida Literacy Coalition is pleased to announce the 41st Annual Florida Literacy Conference: Open Books Open Minds, May 13-15, 2025, at The Shores Resort in Daytona Beach Shores, FL.  FLC anticipates welcoming approximately 350 attendees to the 41st Annual Florida Literacy Conference. Most participants work for adult education, literacy, ESOL and family literacy programs throughout Florida. Of our attendees, approximately 40% are program administrators and 45% are teachers from public and nonprofit adult education/literacy programs.

Exhibiting at the 2025 Conference has been designed with the highest visibility and traffic in mind.  As a potential exhibitor, you will be pleased to know that:

• The exhibit area will be conveniently located near all general and concurrent session rooms.
  
• All refreshment breaks will take place in the exhibit hall area.
  
• The Florida Literacy Coalition will provide a link to each exhibitor's website from www.floridaliteracy.org, which receives an average of approximately 3,100 visitors per week.
  
• All exhibitors will have a listing in the Conference program and attendees will be encouraged to visit exhibitors at the Opening General Session.
  
• Conference sponsors can have their software loaded on computers in the computer lab where, during open times, attendees can demo software on their own.
  
• Exhibitors will be given the opportunity to promote their products through special drawings held during breaks and at the closing general session.

Exhibitors who have purchased a table may propose a workshop session using the Call for Presenters online form. Presentations by exhibitors will be labeled as such in the conference program. Exhibitors will be limited to one concurrent session. Exhibitors who are also sponsors, however, will be permitted to submit two proposals. FLC will contact exhibitors on a first come, first serve basis to choose table(s) for those whose exhibitor application is completed, and payment is received online or postmarked by April 8, 2025. As always, exhibit space will be limited. If space is available, exhibitors will be able to purchase a second table for $175. A timely request will increase the possibility of purchasing an additional table. We will do our best to accommodate as many exhibitors as possible.

The $450 per table fee entitles you to the following: • Company name and description listed in conference program • Conference admission for a company representative including Opening Reception. • One 6’ or 8’ table, two chairs 

Cancellation/Refund
