Ad Summit Pilipinas all set in Subic

MANILA, Philippines - It’s all systems go for Ad Summit Pilipinas, the much-awaited event that is set to rock the country’s advertising and marketing industry this year.

Organized by the Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies of the Philippines (4A’s), the summit will take place from May 7 to 11 at the Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center.

Ad Summit chair Matec Villanueva says the summit will gather marketers and advertising practitioners in the Philippines through a “professionally managed and efficiently run event with clockwork precision.”

“We are definitely bringing ‘rock star’ speakers, global luminaries who are iconic, brilliant, and whose work transcends national boundaries. We are rolling the red carpet for the finest,” Villanueva adds.

The 4A’s is set to officially reveal the overall summit theme.

One special event that is certain to happen at the Ad Summit, however, is the staging of the “Kidlat Awards” of the Creative Guild of the Philippines.

“We intend to institutionalize ‘Kidlat’ as the country’s most prestigious creative advertising competition,” Villanueva says.

With just a few months left before Ad Summit Pilipinas 2014, the 4A’s is now focusing on creating intelligent programming and effective event management to ensure high-level understanding and participation of attendees throughout the convention duration.

“We are bent not to overload programs so attendees can manage their time well and register 100 percent attendance in every session. We don’t want to see morning sessions not filled up because people stayed late the night before,” Villanueva says.

Interested participants may contact the 4A’s secretariat at 813-4397 or 8931205, or e-mail at 4asp@pldtdsl.net to avail themselves of early-bird rates. You may also check its official Facebook page at facebook.com/AdSummitPH or follow on Twitter at @ADSummitPH.
