All advertisers, communicators, media professionals, creatives, and marketers will come together to strengthen relationships between our organizations and cultivate future collaboration.
“There is power in collaboration and partnership. I’m glad our organizations have come together again to host a good time for our members and bring together all communications-based professionals, while highlighting local businesses,” said Jaz E. Hill, President of the American Marketing Association Birmingham chapter.
“For the second time local communicators will come together to celebrate all that we have accomplished, make new friends and reconnect with old ones.

“Our organizations work in separate fields of communications that have common intersections,” said co-founder Hailey Yeager. “As the holidays approach, it makes sense that these worlds collide for camaraderie, collaboration and cheer.”
“By coming together, we can not only celebrate our collective achievements but also strengthen the bonds that drive innovation and creativity in our respective industries,” added Briana Bryant, President of PRSA Alabama.
“This event is a wonderful opportunity to deepen relationships, ignite collaborations, and invest in the next generation of communicators. I’m excited to reconnect with familiar faces and welcome new ones as we celebrate a year of innovation and success in Birmingham,” said David Sengkhammee, President of the American Advertising Federation Birmingham.
Tickets are available on Eventbrite for $35 for non-member guests, while members of each organization can attend for free. Don’t miss this opportunity to network, celebrate and make lasting connections within Birmingham’s professional creative community.
