2024 By The Numbers
JUNE 22 – 25 | JEKYLL ISLAND, GA
Summer Conference
Our attendees represent all facets of the built environment with two distinct branches. The first is school system representatives – planners, facility directors, operations directors, and more. The second is industry firms – architects, builders, engineers, supppliers, manufacturers, and more. Together our conference is the largest gathering of industry professionals working in the K-12 market in the State of Georgia.
George Bernard Shaw said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
The 2025 theme for Georgia Chapter of the Association for Learning Environments Summer Conference is “Communication is Key: Unlock Your Success”.
This year’s theme speaks to the following:
- Communication is the foundation for success in all aspects of personal and professional life.
- In situations where conflict does arise, effective communication is a key factor to ensure that the situation is resolved in a respectful manner.
- We’re in the business of teaching, learning, and growing. Whether this occurs in the classroom, the office, or the jobsite, we’re all participating on each of these levels.
- We all view the world through a different lens. Effective, empathetic, and clear communication is how we come together to establish common goals, standards, and expectations.

About the Conference
The 2024 conference saw over 650 registrants! Our biggest event yet!
School system participation has steadily grown each year as evident in the maps below which detail participation for each of the past 17 conferences.
GA4LE has grown to one of the strongest and most active associations affiliated with the Association for Learning Environments. With our signature event, the outstanding summer conference celebrating its 18th year in 2025 we have great expectations to further grow our membership and reach school personnel across the state & region. We’ve set another lofty goal to draw 175 school facilities personnel from over 65% of the systems in Georgia.
The only way we can meet that goal is to maintain and expand the generous support of our industry partners through annual sponsorships and conference participation. We have a number of sponsors and exhibitors that have been supporting and participating in the conference consistently over the years. We are most grateful for your commitment to the organization.
We’ve taken in all of the feedback and are incorporating it into this year’s conference.
Please note: Business partners events must not conflict or overlap with published conference agenda events/times.
We look forward to seeing everyone in Jekyll Island this summer!
