The American Ass of Advertising Agencies

The American Association of Advertising Agencies or as PSFK calls it, The American Ass of Advertising Agencies held their big conference this past week. PSFK has described the event as an “effing” waste of time. With a litany of complaints from the price ($3000) to the paid speakers, recruiters, lack of wifi and paid speakers, too. Check out our favorite highlights below or read the whole article here. That’s why we don’t go to these damn things.

“Go on, admit it. A conference that spent so much time talking about change that failed to inspire change.”

“Multiply price by ticket sales you get $1,040,000; subtract a little for discounts, speakers, space; then add sponsor and Payola fees, and you end up at… $1,040,000!”

“The AAAA stole our time and charged us for it. Shameful behavior – especially when there’s such a call for transparency in the industry.”
