Stack Creative unConference

Belong. Network. SAVE. 

The American Advertising Federation Omaha (AAF Omaha),  is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for its members. 

The 2010 Stack Creative unConference is right around the corner, and AAF Omaha is able to offer its members a discounted registration rate-AAF OMAHA MEMBERS WILL SAVE $50!

What is an unConference?

An unConference is an interactive alternative to the usual conference. Because of the constantly changing nature of digital media, presentations that are prepared six months in advance are sometimes no longer relevant by the time they are given. At an unConference, the agenda is created live by its attendees, providing exchanges for participants that are up to the minute and always relevant. Most of the sessions are not
presentations but rather dialogues and conversations about emerging trends, issues
and industry projects.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

  • Build new collaborative networks and partnerships across disciplines.
  • Learn something new from others in the field.
  • Find answers to the questions that matter to them.
  • Consider business issues related to the advertising industry.
  • Be exposed to new ideas for making and keeping advertising relevant.

Who’s Attending?

Participants for The Stack Creative unConference include many of the top creative minds in the MidWest

Including leaders from:

  • Traditional agencies
  • Interactive agencies
  • Clients from a broad range of industries
  • Production companies
  • Internet media properties
  • And people in diverse roles including creative directors, digital artists, CMOs, media planners, copywriters, art directors, futurists, geeks and technical people.

What will be talked about?

  • We expect questions like these to be addressed:
    • What shifts are happening in the media landscape, and how are they changing the creative process?
    • What are the shifts in business models?
    • How are new technologies like smartphones, netbooks and GPS devices going to change advertising in the near term?
    • Will online publications kill print? And if so, what then?
    • As a traditional creative, what are effective strategies for expanding into the digital media ecology?
    • As a digital native, how can I work more effectively with traditional creatives and weave our different skills/life experiences together?

All the sessions will have notes taken at them and a book of proceedings will be compiled-so those sessions you can’t make, you won’t completely miss. The following week, a summary of the events will be sent out via e-mail so that you can read up on all the other interesting topics discussed.

  • Nomad-1013 Jones Street, Omaha, NE 68102
