WHAT IS ADVERTISING WEEK?
THE PEOPLE SHAPING WHAT’S NEXT
THE INDUSTRY, ALL IN ONE PLACE.
CMOs. Creatives. Founders. Media leaders. Technologists. Creators. Agency executives. Cultural voices. Rising talent.
Advertising Week brings together the people making the decisions, challenging the status quo and defining where the industry goes next. The conversations you want to be part of — and the people you want to have them with — are here.
IDEAS WORTH SHOWING UP FOR
SEE AROUND THE CORNER.
Across hundreds of sessions, Advertising Week explores the forces transforming our industry right now — from AI, creativity and commerce to media, technology, culture and the creator economy.
Come for the big ideas. Leave with a clearer picture of what’s coming next — and what you’re going to do about it.
WHERE CONNECTIONS BECOME BUSINESS
COME FOR THE CONTENT, STAY FOR THE PEOPLE.
Some of the most important moments at Advertising Week never happen on a stage. They happen over coffee, between sessions, inside a lounge or during a conversation you didn’t plan to have.
Thousands of industry leaders, partners, clients and collaborators come together in one neighborhood — creating four days where your next meeting, idea, partnership or deal could be five minutes away.
MORE THAN A CONFERENCE
EXPERIENCE THE INDUSTRY, NOT JUST ANOTHER EVENT.
Advertising Week is built to be explored. Headline keynotes give way to intimate conversations. Brand activations turn into meeting places. Creator experiences become live content. Sessions spill into networking, dinners, parties and unexpected moments across New York.
It’s four days of ideas, people, culture and business — all happening at once.
WHERE MARKETING MEANS BUSINESS
IDEAS ARE GREAT. OUTCOMES ARE BETTER.
Advertising Week is designed to create momentum long after the stages close. New partnerships begin here. Deals take shape here. Talent gets discovered here. Ideas find investment here. Brands meet creators, agencies meet clients, innovators meet decision-makers.
For four days, an extraordinary amount of the industry is in one place.
**WHERE MARKETING MEETS CULTURE**
BE PART OF WHAT EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT.
Advertising doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It shapes — and is shaped by — entertainment, technology, creators, music, sport, fashion and the cultural moments happening around us. Advertising Week brings those worlds together, putting you in the room for conversations you won’t find at a traditional industry conference.
Come ready to discover something unexpected, hear a perspective you hadn’t considered and experience the ideas shaping what people will be talking about next.
