Advertising Week New York returns October 5–8, 2026, bringing thousands of marketing, advertising, media, technology and creative professionals together in Manhattan’s Penn District for four days of ideas, networking, innovation and business development.
The marketing industry is changing at extraordinary speed. Artificial intelligence is altering how campaigns are created and optimized. Creators are becoming businesses in their own right. Media consumption continues to fragment. Brands are searching for new ways to build communities, measure engagement and turn attention into measurable growth.
Advertising Week New York 2026 — commonly known as AWNY — intends to put many of those conversations under one roof.
The event will take place October 5–8, 2026, in The Penn District in New York City, positioning itself as a meeting place where marketing, media, technology and culture converge.
According to the event's published FAQ, AWNY 2026 is expected to feature four days, more than 1,300 speakers, more than 500 sessions and over 80,000 connections.
Those numbers make the conference significant, but the more interesting story may be what Advertising Week is attempting to accomplish with that scale.
Registration is currently open, and the supplied event-page code displays a promotional call to action offering 30% savings on registration.
