PROGRAM PROPOSAL
STEP UP TO
SPEAK OUT
Your Idea. Our Stage.
adfest 2027 is calling on the creative community to propose live sessions and workshops.

For more details, download the Program Proposal Guide.

Who Should Apply
We want to hear from people shaping the future of creativity across advertising, design, media, entertainment, technology, business, culture and education. You may be a creative, brand leader, platform specialist, creator, production expert, entrepreneur, innovator, educator or someone working in a field the industry has yet to define.

What We Want
We are looking for original, thought-provoking content that challenges perspectives, starts useful conversations and gives our audience something valuable to take away.

Explore what is happening now, what may come next and what the creative industry should be thinking about. Share a fresh point of view, reveal something people have not seen before, or turn a complex change into an idea people can understand and use.

What We Do Not Want
adfest sessions are not sales presentations. Proposals built around a product, service or company promotion will not be selected. Partners and technology companies are welcome, but the content must put audience value first.

What a Strong Proposal Makes Clear
The central idea
Why the idea matters now
What is new or distinctive about the perspective
What the audience will learn, question or be able to apply
Why the proposed speaker is the right person to deliver it

Bring us an idea worth sharing and you could take the stage at adfest 2027.
