Art Director’s Annual Design Exhibition brings advertising professionals and students together from across Iowa to showcase and award their work, and we couldn’t do it alone! THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS for helping us recognize and foster creative accomplishments in Iowa.

WE WILL BREAK FOR 20 MINUTES AT THE MID-POINT OF OUR 2-HOUR EVENT. OUR EMCEE WILL DISMISS THE CROWD FOR BEVERAGES, AND IN DOING SO WILL RECOGNIZE YOUR COMPANY’S DONATION BY NAME. OUR MAIN DISPLAY WILL SHOWCASE YOUR LOGO ALONG WITH OUR ADAI LOGO AND EVENT GRAPHIC FOR THE DURATION OF THIS 20-MINUTE BREAK. IF YOU SO CHOOSE, WE WILL ALSO PLAY A BRIEF VIDEO (30 SECONDS MAX, PROVIDED BY DONOR).
