What is AdStock?

This fall marks the 8th annual AdStock career advice, networking and leadership conference, created by Columbia College Marketing Communication students for Columbia students and recent graduates to connect them to agency and corporate leaders.
Professionals from top national and international communication agencies in the fields of Marketing, Advertising, Sales, Promotions, Public Relations and more, have been invited to take part, including TimeOut Magazine, Starcom, Flair Communications, Clear Channel and Nike.

Students have landed jobs in their chosen fields, thanks to AdStock, with companies such as Nike, The Chicago Bears and 8 Days a Week Promotions.

AdStock is not a job fair; it is a professional career advice day.
Participants are not required to but encouraged to dress professionally and bring resumes, cover letters and portfolios. There may be an opportunity waiting for you - be prepared to impress!
