In 2015, Adweek named it one of the 10 conferences every digital marketer should consider attending.

Transformation 2016, which was focused on leadership, innovation and the ever-evolving media landscape, took place in Miami this past week and featured high-profile speakers including VICE’s Shane Smith, WPP’s founder Sir Martin Sorrell, Facebook’s Carolyn Everson, Chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe, Maurice Lévy, CEO of DDB, Wendy Clark, Marla Kaplowitz, CEO of MEC North America, LinkedIn’s Jann Martin Schwarz, Linda Yaccarino, with NBCUniversal, Kathleen Brookbanks, Chief Operating Officer at OMD, and Kim Stone with the Heat Group, among numerous others.

“This year’s Transformation conference was the biggest and best yet—with truly innovative speakers discussing the future of news, television, agency/client relationships. Creativity and technology, and keeping advertising relevant, among so many other engaging topics that addressed how rapidly our industry is evolving,” said Nancy Hill, President and Chief Executive Officer of the 4A’s. “I hope everyone will mark their calendars for the 2017 event in L.A. Not only will we continue to build on the success of the conference and attract top-notch speakers and panelists, we’ll be celebrating the 4A’s 100th anniversary, so it will be an exciting event.”
