Geofencing is the most targeted and effective way to reach an audience that has visited a very specific location at a specific time. For conferences, we start collecting user data on the first day of the show. As users enter the geofenced area their mobile id is collected and we can immediately start to serve your marketing message to this audience. We continue to deliver ads during the conference for an effective “at market” campaign and then target these same users for a week (or more) after the event.
By offering hyper-targeted location-based ads, you will capture the attention of attendees at the annual convention, in their hotels, and even back at their offices and homes after the show. Don’t miss this targeted advertising opportunity!
Device ID or “Lookback” Geofencing
This option allows you to capture attendees from the event location and serve them ads after the event. It’s a great way to keep your brand top of mind with this targeted audience.
Microproximity PLUS Device ID or “Lookback” Geofencing
This option allows you to serve ads to attendees both during and after the event. While attendees are at the event, your ad may highlight a session you are speaking at, a special offsite event you are hosting, or simply direct them to your booth. After the event, you may change your creative to a broader message about your brand.

The ACJS Annual Meeting brings together nearly 2,000 academics, practitioners and students to that blend academic research with real-world criminal justice practice to improve education, policy, and reform in the field. Learn more about the schedule and attendance at acjs.org/annual-meeting.
The 2026 event unites our influential audience in “The City of Brotherly Love” and focuses on Crises Across the Criminal Justice Landscape: The Nexus of Governance and Responsibility. The theme aims to use the 25th Anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11 to look at how criminal justice has changed in the last two decades. This includes the emerging issues facing the criminal justice system, and — most importantly —the responsibility of the criminal justice system in addressing those issues at home and abroad. Because many of the problems criminal justice academics and practitioners are facing no longer stop at national borders, the conference will have a strong international and domestic focus.
Sponsorship packages start at $4,500 and include:
A la carte sponsorships range from $500-3,500.
