We’re halfway through summer and the IHAF team is plenty busy sorting through over 650 entries we received for this year’s IHAF Awards competition. It’s wonderful to see all the extraordinarily creative work produced by in-house teams from Detroit to Denmark, India to Idaho! We’ve certainly shared some smiles spying your submissions to the “Stuff the Client Didn’t Pick” category. We’re enjoying your TV spots too, remembering seeing them amongour favorite shows last year.

Now that your entries have been signed, sealed, and delivered, our panel of judges has the difficult task of pouring over each to determine the pool of winners. Gold, silver and honorable mention awards will be decided across 30+ categories, along with our coveted Best of Show, all announced at the IHAF Awards Show on the night of November 11th.

Held at the Revere Hotel Boston Common on the evening of Day 1 of our Annual Conference, the IHAF Awards Show commences with a viewing gallery of all the work submitted, accompanied by signature cocktails, hearty hors’d'oeuvres, and eager conversation. Then everyone’s favorite part of the night, the announcement of the winners—this year, in a stylish theatre setting.

Following the applause, the celebration continues as we move on to our popular after party for a nightcap before a good night’s rest. (Remember, there’s a full day of keynote speakers and break-out sessions during Day 2 of our conference on November 12th, so don’t party too hearty!) There’s much to see, experience, and celebrate at the IHAF Annual Conference & Awards Show this year—so register soon, particularly because tickets sold out last year. We look forward to seeing you there!
