FESTIVAL : THANK YOU: WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT YEAR. A MESSAGE FROM THE COLLECTIVE ADVISORY BOARD
Thank you for being part of the buzz of ADFEST 2024.
We hope you learned something that inspired you, heard something that surprised you, met someone who expanded your network – over and over again.
Most, importantly, we hope you had fun.
It was an especially full ADFEST. More sessions, more workshops and some special events. Speakers debated the role of AI in the industry’s future, up-and-coming Young Lotus participants pitted themselves against the brief, Dear Advertising You Used to be Funny, ad people at all levels learned how to shape their portfolio to become a standout brand and the region’s world-famous work was judged.
Watching over the non-profit ADFEST is the Collective Advisory Board (ACAB), a committee of independent advisors invited by ADFEST to advise and support the organisation, promotion and growth of the festival. Members are independent advisors nominated by ADFEST. There is no compensation for this contribution. The chairperson, Rob Sherlock, is an independent advisor nominated by ADFEST to chair ACAB meetings.
As you leave this year’s ADFEST, perhaps take Grand Jury President’s advice to nurture yourself as a human. Take time out to live your life. Your best work won’t come from a life spent at a desk.
