Advertising Day on the Hill

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 • 1:30pm–5:00pm
U.S. Capitol • Congressional Office Buildings

AAF’s unique strength in Washington, D.C. comes from being a grassroots organization. We represent all aspects of the advertising industry from all parts of the country. That strength will be unleashed as you and other conference attendees head to Capitol Hill to meet with your elected representatives. Senators and Representatives take notice when constituents care enough to come to meet with them in person. A strong showing of the AAF grassroots will send a message that further underscores the positions being advocated.

AAF’s Advocacy & Action: Advertising Day on the Hill will conclude with a reception in one of the Congressional Office Buildings bringing together conference attendees with lawmakers and their staffs in an informal social setting. While not a policy event, the presence by industry professionals from around the country at the reception will send a memorable message to our Hill guests about the power and passion of the AAF grassroots.
