ADFEST
is over. Three days of forward-thinking, unexpected and creativity-triggering
ideas have been shared. Outstanding work has been amply rewarded. “Nice to meet
you” has become “I’ll call you next week”. “That was a fascinating idea” has
become “Let’s try this”.
Winners
have received their awards, and their kudos, to packed audiences over two
nights. The Special Award winners have been applauded.
Even
the After Party revelling has happened at the gorgeous Royal Cliff Hotel Infini
Beach Pool.
For
the ADFEST Buzz team it’s bittersweet. Our week of unbridled chaos and
absolutely exhilarating teamwork has ended. We hope we kept you informed and
excited about the festival and its awards.
By the
end of the ADFEST event, more than 900 delegates from 56 cities had attended.
The festival featured 27 sessions with 55 speakers, along with 7 interactive workshops led
by 10 speakers. Additionally, delegates had the opportunity to explore
exhibitions, screenings, and parties throughout the three-day event.
The
event organisers invited 63 jury members to judge the ADFEST 2025 Lotus Awards.
They were led by Susan Credle, Global Creative Advisor, for Interpublic & former
Chair & Global CCO for FCB New York and Grand Jury President. The juries
viewed 1,641 entries to select the winners, which were announced at two evening
awards presentations.
