Each April, hundreds of international creatives converge on Miami Beach to celebrate their inner artists at North America’s most inspiring beachside creative festival.

ADC has been honoring artistry and craftsmanship in the fields of advertising, design, photography, illustration, digital and motion graphics for nearly a century. 2013 brought renewed commitment to this mission with the birth of the ADC Festival of Art + Craft in Advertising and Design.

There are no advertising speakers or panels at the ADC Festival. Instead, world-class creatives engage in hands-on workshops, using media such as paint, clay, wood, food, computer code and even the human body. Networking lunches and afternoon poolside cocktail parties facilitate relaxed networking in an intimate environment.

Each evening honors the winners of the ADC Annual Awards and Tomorrow Awards at Miami’s most impressive venues. The 2015 winners will collect their ADC Cubes and trophies at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center and the Herzog & de Meuron-designed 1111 Lincoln Road.

While some walk away from the ADC Festival in Miami Beach with a trophy, all leave with a Rolodex of new friends and future collaborators... and one hell of a tan.
