AdX Orlando is back — and this lineup is worth showing up for!

On May 28, join AAF Orlando at @fullsail Treehouse for an evening of talks exploring inclusion, AI, customer engagement, and the future of agency and creative work.

Featuring:
🎤 Delaina Parrish (Co-Founder & CEO, @fearlessindependence_by_d) — a TEDx speaker and runway model turned disability inclusion advocate, unpacking the $18 trillion market opportunity brands are still ignoring.

🎤 Ezra Herrera (CTO, @conversioniq.ai and ONE Agency) — a 28-year software architect who has built tech for the Microsoft SWAT Team and is now engineering the future of creative campaign technology. His session will focus on AI for customer engagement!

🎤 Tina Fleming (VP of AI Strategy, @avenue.z) — Our very own Trustee! She is the mind behind Avenue Z’s full AI roadmap, breaking down how agents and automation are transforming the agency model right now.

Not a lecture. Not a panel. Just ideas that challenge the way you think about your work — plus audience Q&A, networking, and real conversation with Orlando’s creative community before and after the event.

If you’ve been craving smarter creative conversations lately, this is the room to be in. 💯

A week later, and we’re still feeling so grateful for this community.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the (Not‑So) Corporate 5K After‑Party and made it such a meaningful, fun night.

From reconnecting with familiar faces to meeting new ones, this event was a great reminder of what happens when people simply show up for each other.

Huge thanks to our event sponsors who helped make it all possible:
@stackadapt, @bluewaverp, @cityarts_orlando, @aloftorlandodowntown, @pla.yoga, and @assemblagewine_co

And 😋 - special thanks @thesmoothieroom for refueling all our attendees, @djkrazydazie for keeping the vibes pristine and @devilsfootbrew for the specialty sips!!

Ya’ll loved the raffles - so everybody go support local and check out @beem.collegepark.fl, @freehandgoods, @cryosculptbodylab, @therentheatre, @sole_pursuit_coaching, and @assemblagewine_co

… and OFC we appreciate @orlandotrackshack for continuing to make the @corporate5k such an Orlando staple. How bout we make this even bigger together next year 👀

This night was about community, connection, and doing things a little differently — and it wouldn’t have been the same without all of you. Thank you for being part of it. by @aaforlando

A quick Know Before You Go for our (Not So) Corporate 5k After Party tonight 👀

Downtown will be busy with the race (the @corporate5k brings out 12-15k people), so plan ahead and give yourself a little extra time.

We’ll be set up at CityArts before, during, and after the run with the after‑party, raffles, and chill vibes (and air conditioning) waiting on the other side.

Save this, share it with your crew, and check the official @corporate5k race guide for road closures. See you soon! by @aaforlando
