Prepare for Take-Off
Register today for the 2026 AAF District 4 Conference + American Advertising Awards Gala

Hotel Headquarters: This year's host hotel is the Hyatt Place Titusville/Kennedy Space Center.

This District 4 is leaving the traditional ballroom behind and heading to Florida’s Space Coast for an immersive learning mission designed like a real launch sequence. The AAF District 4 Annual Conference & ADDY Gala will take you on a journey where ideas are experienced in motion—through guided exploration, site visits, and hands-on learning that pushes us to MAX Q, the point of greatest engagement.

Mission Timeline:
Ignition — Arrival, check-in, and mission orientation
Lift-Off — Board meetings, Space Coast site visits, and sharing success stories
MAX Q — Peak engagement through immersive guided learning + student tracks
Orbit — Connection and celebration at the AAF District 4 ADDY Gala
Re-Entry — Key takeaways, elections, Governor’s Cup, and Thank You Awards
Instead of passive sessions, expect real-world exploration and guided learning experiences that make innovation tangible.

And much more...

Important Mission Requirement:
If you plan to attend the Kennedy Space Center activities, proof of citizenship must be submitted by April 8, 2026.
