ON Brand 2026

The ON Brand 2026 Conference is a collaboration of AAF Nebraska, AMA Lincoln, AMA Omaha and PRSA Nebraska. For eight years, these organizations have unified their voices to advance the marketing and communications industry in our region.

This year’s theme, Brand Human, intentionally shifts the focus away from professional titles to celebrate the people behind them. Whether you are navigating a career pivot, a professional transition or seeking to level up in your current role, our tracks bridge the gap between public relations, communications, brand, marketing and advertising.

Join us to learn from Omaha’s own storytellers and turn inspiration into a concrete roadmap for your career and your personal growth.

Our lineup features homegrown expertise and local leaders dedicated to the strength of our professional community:

• Welcome and Introduction: Heath Mello with the Greater Omaha Chamber
• Morning Keynote: Raj Lulla from Fruitful
• Lunch Keynote: Jeff Koterba, editorial cartoonist and storyteller, with an introduction by Omaha Mayor John Ewing Jr.
• Closing Keynote: JT Martin from JT Martin Media

We are curating breakouts specifically for Omaha’s storytellers and strategists. These sessions are designed by local peers to support your development as a professional and as a person. Our tracks include:

• The Nonprofit Storyteller
• The Midlevel Professional
• The Recent Graduate and First-time Employee
• The Leader Ready to Support a New Generation
