Chicago hosted the final stop of the AICP Awards Tour on Thursday evening, bringing friends, co-workers, and colleagues together at the Old Post Office, for an evening that blended celebration with connection. The award event, which concludes its coast-to-coast run in Chicago every year, drew a full house from across the city’s advertising and production community.
The night opened with a cocktail hour sponsored by Tessa Films and Quriosity Productions, giving everyone a chance to catch up, trade stories, and ease into the celebration. The Awards Program highlighted work from the AICP Show, AICP Post Awards, and AICP Next Awards. This year the AICP Awards Tour put a spotlight on brands, featuring a panel discussion with David Hernandez of Allstate, Luis Gabriel “Tito” Ramírez of Whirlpool, and Lizette Williams of Meta. Each offered a brief look at standout winning pieces and shared insights on creativity, technology, and where the industry is heading.
A reception followed the program, with conversations continuing long after the presentation wrapped. For many attendees, the final Chicago stop remains a favorite, a chance to recognize the work, reconnect with peers, and close out the annual tour on a high note.
Who doesn’t love a step & repeat?
Let’s celebrate!
