WHY JOIN

You've worked and studied hard.  Maybe you've interned somewhere.  You plan to get your paper, walk into an agency and be The One who turns the ad world on its ear.

In fact, you've already finished a first draft of your Cannes Lion award acceptance speech. Awesome.

Maybe now is the time to start connecting with smart people in the business who can give you a shot. An Austin Ad Fed Student Membership is your ticket in.  (And it comes with a reduced price, so you can spend an extra week in France after the show.)

And now we've got another great reason for you to join!  Become a part of Ad2, the recently-hatched offspring of the Austin Ad Fed geared toward young professionals ages 18 to 32!  Find out more here!
