We are excited to welcome our partners and exhibitors back to the Jekyll Island Convention Center for one of the largest gatherings of school leaders in Georgia. The GAEL Summer Conference brings together principals, assistant principals, district leaders, and education decision-makers from across the state for several days of professional learning, networking, and collaboration. The expo hall is July 12-14, 2026 but all participating companies are welcome to attend the professional learning day on Wednesday, July 15, 2026.


The Expo Hall is a central hub of the conference experience, providing valuable opportunities for organizations to connect directly with school leaders who are shaping the future of education in Georgia. With more than 100 companies and organizations expected to participate, the Expo Hall offers outstanding visibility and engagement with attendees throughout the conference.


In addition to the Expo Hall, partners will have opportunities to connect with attendees during several signature conference events, including the Low Country Boil Celebration, Dueling Pianos Concert & Reception, and Family Fun Night at the Water Park.



We encourage you to register early to secure your space in the Expo Hall.
