The TESOL Annual Convention & Exhibit in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, drew more than 5,600 professionals who planned to cross borders and build bridges.

Educators traveled from 91 countries to attend.

Attendees prepped for the convention and connected with one another using the TESOL convention app.
Keynote speakers drew the largest crowds: (clockwise from top left) Sonia Nieto; Jim Cummins; (left to right) Michael Byram, Jun Liu, Lourdes Ortega; and (center) Yilin Sun.

There were more than 1,000 academic sessions offered in Toronto.

At the Annual Business Meeting, members voiced their opinions, remembered Jim Alatis, and witnessed the installation of newly elected officers.

Poster sessions, which offer up close and personal interactions with presenters, always draw large crowds.

The TESOL Bookstore offered great books at discounted convention prices, and friendly TESOL staff faces.

At the Electronic Village, attendees learned the latest and greatest educational technology tools for use in their practice.

Nearly 150 exhibitors presented their English language teaching and learning products and services.

At the Job MarketPlace, attendees networked with other professionals, interviewed with recruiters, and had their résumés reviewed.
And TESOLers from all over the world connected with the field and with each other!
