The ADTHINK Series began when The ADVERTISING Club along with REDBOOKS realized the need for a no-bullshit platform to connect brands, agencies and the most promising technology Founders of Silicon Alley. In front of 200+ guests five minutes is given to each  cutting-edge start-ups to pitch senior executives from brands and the agency sector. There is no prize and no winner; the connections made at ADTHINK lead to something much bigger.

Four years after the inception of ADTHINK with several acquisitions and countless connections made, the program continues to deliver top-notch presenting founders, a standing-room-only crowd and whip-smart brand and agency critics.
