AWNY 2025: What to Expect 🏙️

Okay, so imagine 16,000 advertising and media people invading Manhattan's Penn District for four days straight. October 6-9. That's Advertising Week New York 2025, and it's basically what happens when you combine a music festival's energy with actual useful content - 1,200+ speakers, 500+ sessions, attendees from 60 countries, and networking that sparks genuine conversations and partnerships. Dynamic presentations. Speakers who know how to engage an audience. Just real conversations about what's actually happening in the industry right now.

So, what should you expect to see next week? Creators are getting the recognition they've been demanding. There's an awards ceremony celebrating women who are actually making a difference. Cultural conversations that go deeper than buzzwords. And apparently, someone decided to bring Hot Ones to interview stages, which "spices" things up.
