adfest has unveiled a bold new logo, designed by renowned creative leader Santosh ‘Paddy’ Padhi, marking a new chapter as adfest 2027 celebrates its 30^th Year.

Inspired by the lotus, the logo represents adfest’s heritage while opening the door to the next generation of creativity, culture and innovation.

30&BEYOND is a testament to adfest’s commitment to connecting culture, craft, creativity, and technology. It celebrates the journey we’ve shared, the community that has made it possible, and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.

30 isn’t a finish line.
Because human creativity doesn’t have one.

adfest is looking for the next idea that changes everything.

We’re calling on the creative community to propose live sessions and workshops for the chance to take the stage at adfest 2027.

Proposal Submission Deadline: 30 November 2026.
