The AD Club's Guide to AWXI: Professional Development

In 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!
