The Institute for Financial Literacy established the Annual Conference on Financial Education (ACFE) to improve the professional development and collaboration opportunities for financial educators across all sectors and locales. The Annual Conference cross-pollinates ideas, techniques and best practices, reduces unnecessary duplication, and strengthens the effectiveness and reach of financial literacy education. In 2007, the Institute added the Excellence In Financial Literacy Education (“EIFLE”) Awards to the Annual Conference to recognize the outstanding financial educators, organizations, books, programs, games and research. Not only do the EIFLE Awards recognize professional accomplishment, but they serve to promote innovation and inspire financial educators to better serve their communities.
The Institute will host the 21st Annual Conference on Financial Education April 13-15, 2026 at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista in Florida. Information about this year’s event can be found at ACFEonline.org. The support of ACFE Sponsors allows us to provide more value to our attendees while keeping registration fees affordable. Many of these professionals work with low income and underserved communities, have limited professional development budgets and pay at least a portion of their expenses out of pocket. On the next page, you’ll find 2026 Sponsorship Opportunities. I encourage you to consider which level might be best for you as you broaden your competitive edge by improving your company’s image, prestige, and credibility with financial educators. Sponsors who also exhibit at the ACFE develop stronger relationships with financial educators across the country, leading to increased profits and establishment of goodwill. We encourage participation from organizations of all sizes, so we offer 6 different levels of support and will be happy to speak with you about a customized sponsorship level if that would better meet your needs.
