The 4A’s and Coblentz Patch Duffy & Bass LLC invite you to Rise & Shine, an early morning conversation about the state of the advertising industry with agencies, marketers, and the startup community.

4A’s Management Practitioners Forum (MPF) 2020 is a 1.5 day forum that will be held at The Westin Chicago River North 3.30 – 3.31.2020. MPF will allow for expanded discussion on the key topics that 4A’s members have identified as mission critical to agency leaders.

Together, we’ll challenge our preconceptions, explore how the definition of craftsmanship is evolving and look at new ways to emotionally connect with the people we need to connect with.

We’re excited to open the application process for the 2020 MAIP class. Application deadline is Friday, October 18, 2019.
