The Ad Expo allows you to showcase your products and services to a national audience of advertising industry decision makers. Almost half of the conference attendee base is composed of top management and marketing/communications directors and managers.

Annual Media Auction continues to grow!

AAF-Jacksonville presented its second annual Media Auction, “Advertising is Art” before a crowd of Art Walkers during a chilly evening on Wednesday, March 3, 2010.

An estimated 100 attendees enjoyed free-flowing refreshments, an endless array of hors d’oeuvres, a lively and comedic auctioneer and a lobby filled with this year’s local ADDY® Award-winning entries.

The evening boasted 16 fun, non media-related silent auction items and more than 50 media-related live auction items with values ranging from a few hundred dollars to more than $10,000. The bidding was competitive and entertaining, with bidders enjoying incredible bargains on valuable advertising opportunities. In all, the auction fetched more than $32,000.

In addition to being an exciting event, the Media Auction benefits a great cause. Proceeds help fund scholarships for local advertising and graphic design students, as well as help support AAF-Jacksonville initiatives throughout the year.

Membership has its perks, too. AAF-Jacksonville members got to enjoy an additional 10 minutes of bidding time at the end of the silent auction. Those familiar with the silent auction process realize how valuable this can be. Want to learn more about becoming a member? Contact Tyler Morris at tylerm@cilj.com.
