Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences - ACJS Annual Meeting 2027

The ACJS is an international, non-profit association with a multi-ethnic, multi-generational membership that includes scholars, practitioners, students, and service providers. The organization reports members representing every U.S. state, many countries, and virtually every institution of higher learning with a criminal justice program. Specific historical attendance figures for the Annual Meeting are not published on the official sources reviewed.

Exhibitor and sponsorship pricing is not published as a fixed rate on the public meeting pages. Prospective exhibitors and sponsors are directed to the 2027 Annual Meeting Media Kit for booth costs, sponsorship tiers, and advertising opportunities.

Registration is completed online through the ACJS Annual Meeting registration portal. All attendees, including presenters, must pay a registration fee. ACJS does not offer day rates or one-day registrations, and all fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

The Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences was established in 1963 to foster professional and scholarly activities in the field of criminal justice. It originated as the International Association of Police Professors (IAPP), with early objectives centered on advancing police education and scholarship, and rebranded as ACJS in 1970 as it broadened its scope to encompass the entire criminal justice system.

Over the decades ACJS has grown into an international association supporting educators, practitioners, and students, and it publishes several peer-reviewed journals including Justice Quarterly and The Journal of Criminal Justice Education. The Annual Meeting has become the association's signature event, and the 2027 gathering in Orlando represents the 64th Annual Meeting. The meeting rotates among major U.S. cities, with upcoming editions planned for Chicago (2028), Denver (2029), and Portland (2030).
