Moderated by Matt Miller, president and CEO of AICP, the evening will include montages of the winning work from each show, with the panel reviewing selected winners, offering insights into what made them rise to the top of their respective categories and share their viewpoints on key trends in the industry.
The event kicks off at 6 pm with a happy hour, followed by the Awards presentation at 7 pm, and concludes with a reception. The Exploratorium is located at Pier 15 on The Embarcadero. Tickets are available; for more information, click here.

Established in 1992, The AICP Show is one of the most important advertising showcases in the world that’s dedicated to excellence in craft. The AICP Post Awards, which debuted in 2001, honors excellence in a wide range of postproduction crafts and disciplines. And the AICP Next Awards, launched in 2007, highlights the winners of the 11 Next categories, which honor innovative marketing communications.
Honorees at the AICP Show and The AICP Next Awards are preserved in The Museum of Modern Art’s Department of Film’s state of the art archives for future generations to study and are available for use or exhibition by the museum’s curators.
