A new tech phenomenon is upon us. Creative directors from the ad industry are ditching their agencies to follow their passions and launch their own startups. It’s a mass exodus from Madison Avenue to Silicon Valley.

StartUP is a showcase of those bold creative directors who took the leap, and became entrepreneurs.

This series of talks is designed to inspire the creative community. To spark the next generation of million dollar ideas. And to provide ADC members with the proper resources to become the builders of tomorrow.
