AAF DISTRICT 7

Atlanta Ad Club is a proud professional local chapter of AAF's 7th District, which includes local clubs in the Southeast across Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

We were very honored to host the 2021 AAF District 7 Fall Leadership Conference in September 2021, where our friends from across the region descended on downtown Atlanta for a weekend of thought-leadership, gathering, and lip-syncing!
