ADMERICA
What’s ADMERICA?
ADMERICA is the American Advertising Federation’s annual conference, bringing together creative professionals, rising talent, and industry leaders from across the nation to celebrate innovation and elevate the advertising industry.
A highlight of the conference is the Ad 2 Public Service Competition, where Ad 2 chapters present their public service case studies — multimedia campaigns developed to make a lasting impact in their local communities. Each chapter’s work is judged on strategy, creativity, and measurable results, making this a signature event that showcases the power of advertising to drive real change.
Over 2 Decades of Community Commitment
For over 25 years, our chapter has proudly competed on this national stage. Participating alongside other innovative Ad 2 chapters is always an inspiring experience, and we value the opportunity to share our passion for creating campaigns that make a real difference in our local communities.
