About the Conference

This year WAATBP returns Oct 6 & 7 with a combined virtual and in-person experience that promises to be a phenomenal one—that's right—everything you loved about the dynamic conference over the years, spread across two eventful days!

The event kicks off on Thursday, October 6 with an all-virtual version of our career fair and portfolio reviews. Then on Friday, October 7, we will meet at Convene for an action-packed day starting with a keynote address, followed by recruiting & reviewing, panels & workshops, activations, and so much more. 

There will be thought-provoking discussions, super engaging Speakers and panelists, and we will address diversity issues head-on. There will also be plenty of advertising agencies and brands that will be looking to get to know those in attendance. No matter where you are in the world, whether you're a person of color, or a supportive ally, there's a place for you at WAATBP. 

As always, the conference is free to attend, but you must register in advance to be part of the conversation and the celebration. Only Premium ticket holders receive exclusive access to the after-hours mixer, so make sure to get your ticket ahead of time.
