The one day event is designed to equip marketing professionals in the Pacific Northwest with better tools to approach the fastest growth segment of the US consumer base.

Recognized national thought leaders speaking at the conference include:
· Javier Delgado, Director of Multicultural Marketing, Walmart
· Rajaa Grar, Sr., Brand Manager, Multicultural Marketing, Starbucks Coffee Corporation

On Thursday, March 5th, we all gathered to announce the winners of the 2015 American Advertising Awards Seattle for a night that can only be described as, "Daaaaaaaamn that was fun."
We celebrated Larry Asher's success as he received the AAF Silver Medal Award. After delivering his speech of thanks and praise for his colleagues, he gave everyone at the show a free School of Visual Concepts class, further proving that he's the ever-activist in education in design and advertising.
