The Summit

Three days exploring the future of our agencies, our network, our industry
May 4-6, 2025
Chicago, IL, USA

The future of advertising begins with indie agencies. Our agility, creativity, and commitment to client relationships and ethical practices enable us to navigate challenges and seize opportunities in ways others are either unable or unwilling to. Defining the future is an exciting prospect. It’s also a big responsibility. One that we can only accomplish through creative inspiration, extensive knowledge and collective action.

 

Join us at NEXT ‘25, where we’ll explore all of the possibilities the future -- of our agencies, of our network, of the advertising industry -- holds. Over three dynamic days, attendees will engage in thought-provoking speeches and interactive sessions about innovation, adaptability, sustainability, collaboration and more, focusing on how we can future-proof our agencies, our network and our industry. Together, we’ll navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, ensuring that our independent voices remain powerful and relevant in a rapidly changing market.
