The annual event that has become a staple of the advertising year in Asia Pacific, is moving back to its roots in Pattaya, Thailand. Yes, ADFEST 2012 is returning to PEACH, the Pattaya Exhibition And Convention Hall and Royal Cliff Hotels Group which have been upgraded during the event's absence.
ADFEST is the largest festival of communication creativity in Asia Pacific, combining an annual gathering for marketing, communication and production people within and beyond the region for exchanging new ideas, sharing wisdom and experience, meeting old friends and making new ones.
We are proud of how ADFEST has developed since its inception fifteen years ago. As a non-profit making event, it single-mindedly champions the energy, experience and talent that is home-grown in Asia Pacific. Its success is also a testament to all of its loyal followers and fans, to whom we are extremely grateful. Our continuing role as organisers is to work harder to maintain the expectations of our delegates, sponsors, speakers and juries who have been passionately supporting us for years, particularly during recent times when circumstances were beyond our control.
The decision to move back to our adopted home in Pattaya means we will have the benefit of a fantastic space within a familiar venue and therefore can concentrate one hundred percent on making it the best experience for our guests and friends. More than ever, we are determined to make ADFEST 2012 the most inspiring and enjoyable festival for everyone who attends.
I am, very much looking forward to rubbing shoulders with you all.

Jimmy Lam
President of ADFEST
