Advertising Week returns to New York Oct. 6-9, promising a “reimagined experience built for today’s changemakers across marketing, media, tech and culture.”

The industry event has been running since 2004, and has expanded from its flagship Manhattan conference to include annual meets in Mexico City and London. Each year, Advertising Week New York welcomes thousands of attendees as well as major brands like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Johnson & Johnson, Nike, Nintendo, Starbucks, Walmart, and Unilever, plus content platforms like TikTok, Twitch, and Meta.

This year, its four-day schedule is packed with 500+ sessions featuring more than 1,200 speakers, including beauty vlogger turned CEO Jackie Aina, Hollywood actors Kevin Bacon and Josh Peck, Smosh CEO Alessandra Catanese, YouTube’s prolific “moral philosopher” Dhar Mann, TikTok storyteller Hunter Prosper, Manscaped CEO Marcelo Kertész, and e.l.f. Beauty Chief Brand Officer Laurie Lam.

“Discover groundbreaking ideas, create new partnerships and soak up the energy of the industry’s most dynamic event,” Advertising Week organizers said. “Expect immersive content across multiple stages, premium networking spaces, fresh brand activations, and surprise guest appearances that only Advertising Week can deliver.”

Advertising Week New York says it’s expecting over 16,000 in-person attendees to show up for 2025’s 28 content tracks, which cover topics like…

• AI & Innovation
• Campaigns & Creativity
• Content & Pop Culture
• Creator Perspectives
• Data & Decisions
• Immersive Experiences
• Industry Disruptors
• Shopping & Commerce Media

It’s also offering an Investors Summit, a Gaming Summit (in partnership with Super League), and a B2B marketing exchange (presented by LinkedIn), and will kick off the event by handing out the latest round of the Future Is Female Awards, which recognize “outstanding, trailblazing women and allies in our industry.”

While Advertising Week New York centralizes in-person around these few days in the city, it also offers year-round e-learning through its AWLearn platform and year-round editorial, audio, and video content from AW360. Those who can’t make it to Manhattan this year will also be able to stream a good portion of Advertising Week New York’s schedule by signing up for a Digital Delegate pass ($100 per person during early sale, $125/person after).

As for those who can make it in person, Advertising Week New York is currently running an early bird registration with 20% off passes.
