Sponsors and Exhibitors
Partner with ACR 2026
Showcase Your Brand at the Forefront of Consumer Research
Elevation – September 24–26, 2026 | Chicago, IL
Consumer behavior is far more than a transaction. At ACR 2026, we explore the full richness of consumption—how people choose, interact with, and are shaped by the things they buy and the things they experience. This year’s theme, “Elevation,” invites researchers, practitioners, and changemakers to consider the broader landscape of consumer life: from technology use and healthcare decisions to social movements, food choices, time management, and more.
As a sponsor or exhibitor, you’ll gain direct access to a vibrant, multidisciplinary audience of scholars, industry leaders, policy makers, and nonprofit professionals—all gathered to explore how consumer behavior informs and transforms the world.
Why Sponsor or Exhibit at ACR 2026?
- Reach a Targeted, Engaged Audience
- Showcase Your Organization’s Impact
- Spark New Collaborations
