Recent & Upcoming Events
We Might Be Laughing...But This Is Serious!
In collaboration with Values Partnership and the COVID Collaborative, Ad Council is hosting a national event for the Black Faith Community on Saturday October 2nd at 11am - 12pm EST.
This virtual event will be a poignant and powerful conversation on Black folks and the COVID-19 Vaccines, infused with humor throughout to help drive further engagement and reach the younger audience. Humor has historically been one of the ways that the Black community processes difficult issues, so as the pandemic continues to disproportionately impact Black folks and other communities of color, we are going to utilize humor, information, and inspiration in a special way to reach people who we haven't reached yet.

Univision Town Hall
The Ad Council is partnering with Univision, Unidos Por Los Nuestros, and UnidosUS for a Town Hall Meeting on Thursday, April 29th at 11am EST / 10am CT / 8am PT.
With Mother's Day fast approaching, this town hall gives us the opportunity to hear from women health professionals, influencers, and real people who have been actively getting their families vaccinated. Often in this community, women are on frontlines of making health decisions for their families and can be key in influencing family members, especially Latino males, in getting vaccinated.

#HaveYouMet
As a certified LinkedIn influencer with over 34,000 industry-leading followers, Ad Council President and CEO Lisa Sherman is committed to using her platform to elevate Black women and BIPOC individuals whose careers, achievements and causes might benefit from the exposure. At a time when in-person industry mixers aren’t happening as they normally would, and with the acknowledgment that not everyone has equal access to those spaces, #HaveYouMet is the virtual equivalent of that moment when two people are talking and a third approaches: “Have you met?”
NowThis Livestreams
The Ad Council is partnering with NowThis to co-host weekly livestream events on Facebook to inspire and empower audiences to get involved in the most important social issues of today. Guests featured include experts, talent and personal stories of impact. We’ll continue to use our platforms to highlight these critical conversations.
