The AD Club's Guide to AWXI: Diversity

Screen Shot 2014-09-04 at 12.05.21 PMIn excited anticipation of Advertising Week, the world’s premier gathering of marketing and communications leaders, The AD Club has sorted through the   event’s extensive calendar in order to curate our very own Guide to AWXI. It can be challenging to navigate such an abundance of industry leaders, information and opportunity at the weeklong event, so we’ve broken up our “must attend events” based on the four pillars of the Club: Diversity, Access, Professional Development and Creativity. Hope to see you there!

Diversity is an evergreen subject within the advertising industry and one of the single most important issues at The AD Club. Through initiatives like i’mPART, the Club is constantly working to raise awareness of the benefits of diversity in business and rally professionals around a shared movement. This Advertising Week, we encourage you to get involved in the conversation by attending the following events:
