Our annual Board of Directors Retreat is a time for big ideas, fresh energy, and planning the year ahead. We’ll map out events, member benefits, and all the ways we’ll bring our community an amazing year of AAF resources and programming.

This is a private, invitation-only gathering for our board members to connect, collaborate, and set the stage for what’s to come.

We are thrilled to welcome a new year of AAF Seattle with an evening of connection, reconnection, and fun. Meet our incoming Board of Directors (we've doubled in size, yay!), reconnect with friends, meet some strangers, eat, drink, and win some prizes! Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your journey in the advertising, communications, film, media, PR, design, or marketing industry, AAF Seattle is the place to be.

Whether you're looking to expand your network, explore new opportunities, or simply unwind with like-minded individuals, "No Agenda" is for you. Come as you are and join us for a night of unscripted connections.

This event is free to attend. We can't wait to see you there!

Thank you to Copacino+Fujikado for hosting.
