Our Trips

New York | Student Advertising Career Conference

Each year, we send a group of 50-60 students to the Big Apple to experience the New York advertising scene firsthand. We partner with companies like Weiden + Kennedy, RGA, Facebook, Huge, McCann Worldgroup, Publicis Health, and Grey to give students an opportunity to see everything from agencies to tech companies.

Students attend industry immersion trips and visit several advertising agencies in the heart of the city. Members of AAF Illinois also hear from industry professionals from YouTube, Amazon, FCB, BBDO, and more and the national AAF conference.

NYC SACC happens in late November.

Chicago | Advasion

Chicago Advasion is our biggest trip, where we send 150 students to Chicago for a day to visit agencies and network. We partner with companies like Adobe, DDB, Edelman, Energy BBDO, Facebook, FCB, Havas, Leo Burnett, McGarryBowen, Ogilvy, SapientRazorfish, Starcom, We Are Unlimited, and many more! After our students spend the day visiting agencies, we cap off the trip with a networking session at SCC.

Chicago Advasion happens mid-Spring.
