ADMERICA 25 Recap

July 3, 2025

We had a blast attending ADMERICA – AAF’s national conference – in Pittsburgh June 5–8 with our District 5 friends.

The jam-packed conference featured:

• Opening reception at the Andy Warhol Museum
• Chapter management round tables and professional development sessions
The Mosaic 10 (the top 10 most impactful multicultural moments in advertising as voted on by consumers)
• The National American Advertising Awards Show
National Student Advertising Competition: Texas State University took first place. Next year’s client is the NFL!
• Salute to Achievers celebration: featuring our own Governor of the Year, Bethany Beaman
• Celebrated AAF-Akron’s second place Club Achievement award in Cornerstone Initiatives & Events
• 120th Birthday Party for AAF

We saw several of our previous American Advertising Awards judges, made many new connections and gleaned lots of ideas. We’re inspired as we head into planning for next year!
