Formerly known as Portfolio Day, AAF Montgomery’s Student Conference is bigger and better than ever! The Student Conference is a two-day conference where students can learn about the field of advertising, discover what trends are developing in the industry and get a jumpstart on their career by networking with knowledgeable advertising professionals and recruiters.
WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF IT?
Students will fuel their creativity and jumpstart their career by:
• Learning from inspiring keynote speakers and leaders
• Engaging with students who are just as passionate about advertising from across our local River Region colleges
• Increasing their hands on knowledge of the industry by competing in our Student Advertising Competition
• Meeting with professionals from top local agencies for a portfolio review
