Retargeting Campaign

Retargeting is a type of digital advertising that enables marketers to create highly targeted ad campaigns that reach their desired audience across the internet. By utilizing retargeting technology on association websites, marketers capture a prequalified audience to turn association members and supporters into customers of their own. 

Provide your campaign budget and your ads will run until contracted impressions are met on ACJS’ websites. Submitting all materials as recommended will provide the highest placement rate and allow the system to best optimize your ad campaign for performance. Keep the message simple and the text as large and easy-to-read as possible.

Geofencing

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!

Option 1:

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.

  • 40,000 minimum impressions per campaign
  • $40 CPM for Display Ads, $65 CPM for Video Ads
  • One set of creative supplied

Option 2:

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.

  • 80,000 minimum impressions per campaign
  • $40 CPM for Display Ads, $65 CPM for Video Ads
  • Two sets of creative may be supplied

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:

  • Meeting registrations
  • Digital advertising and/or logo placement in the mobile app and on the ACJS Annual Meeting website
  • Event sponsorship of the Doctoral Summit, Student Luncheon, President’s Reception and Academy Awards Luncheon, among others!
  • Logo exposure on onsite signage
  • Much, much more!

A la carte sponsorships range from $500-3,500.

This intensive training course emphasizes blockchain forensics and hands-on investigative exercises, making it an ideal program for law enforcement professionals, prosecutors, financial industry investigators, and researchers focused on cryptocurrency-related crime. Participants will explore real-world applications of blockchain analysis in a variety of cases, including sextortion, romance scams, pig butchering schemes, and human trafficking. Special attention will also be given to cryptocurrency risks associated with major global events such as the FIFA World Cup.

Core areas of instruction include the detection of money laundering through blockchain analytics, the regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrency, and best practices for implementing Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols.

Attendees will engage in hands-on exercises using blockchain forensic tools to trace transactions—learning how to identify source and destination wallet addresses, transaction IDs, timestamps, and the amounts transferred. Through scenario-based exercises, participants will use a document triage worksheet and crypto evidence collection guide, preparing them for immediate deployment in the field.

The workshop will be held on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
