ADC was founded in 1920 by Louis Pedlar to ensure that advertising and design were committed to, and judged by, the same stringent standards as fine art. 96 years later, ADC still upholds this standard as one of the most concentrated groups of creative talent in the world, with a mission to Connect, Educate, and Inspire creative professionals worldwide. As a gathering place for leaders in visual communication, ADC brings together the best minds in the creative industries to celebrate the winners of our Annual Awards and Young Guns competitions, to help a new generation of creative leaders rise up through Saturday Career Workshops, to provoke international creative minds with the editorial of the ADC Blog, and to celebrate the achievements of esteemed Hall of Fame inductees.
