Advertising Week 2006: Charting the Events, Dos, Don’ts, and Industry Heavyweights Making the Scene
As everyone in advertising knows, September 25th through 29th marks the weeklong celebration of the industry, cleverly known as Advertising Week, here in New York City. The days are filled will events, seminars, and conferences that feature an array of topics and a number of activities.
But while the day’s events prove useful and engaging from a network/industry state of the union standpoint, we all know that the real fun lies in the nighttime hours. Fortunately for the advertising masses, there is no better place to celebrate than the Big Apple, from restaurants, clubs, and theater shows, to landmark attractions, museums, and festivals. To help you organize your social schedule for Advertising Week, we’ve compiled a list of official Ad Week receptions, many of which require invitation, and some suggestions to get you acclimated to the New York scene.
And as is our loyal duty here at ADOTAS, beginning today, we are not only compiling many of the week’s activities for you, we are also proud to spotlight some of the industry pros who will make their mark with panel discussions and speeches at this year’s major Ad Week conventions–including Carat Americas CEO David Verklin and Mobile Marketing Association Executive Director Laura Marriott.
In the meantime, we hope these event listings will assist you as you distribute business cards, schmooze clients, and peck incessantly at your PDA throughout the hectic week.
