About this Event
Power up your future, by attending this year’s AAF-SD Student Day event!
Join us Thursday, October 23rd at the University of South Dakota – Sioux Falls to hear from the area’s leaders in advertising, marketing, and communications.
This is your chance to meet professionals who work in graphic design, UX/UI, social media planning and content, communications, production, paid media, and so much more. New this year, you’ll have the chance to attend three panels, including two brand new ones featuring social media and production. Don’t forget you’ll have opportunities to sign up for a headshot and portfolio/resume reviews.
We are also excited to announce our “Marketing Meet and Greet Social Hour” where students can visit 1 on 1 with a variety of agencies, businesses, and higher education entities.
