You know those ideas that you wish you had? The ones that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, that cause you jitter with excitement or seethe with just a little bit of envy? We’re bringing some of those amazing, forward-thinking and energizing ideas, and the creative innovators behind them, to Chicago on May 19.
Led by chairperson Dan Fietsam, EVP/CCO of Energy BBDO, Chicago, the Boards Creative Workshop brings together leading local and international creative leaders to connect with the ideas and trends that are influencing the most pioneering concepts in advertising and commercial production. It’s a day that’s not to be missed.
