2025 AAF-SD Student Day

Power up your future, by attending this year’s AAF-SD Student Day event!

Join us Thursday, October 23rd at the University of South Dakota – Sioux Falls to hear from the area’s leaders in advertising, marketing, and communications.

This is your chance to meet professionals who work in graphic design, UX/UI, social media planning and content, communications, production, paid media, and so much more. New this year, you’ll have the chance to attend three panels, including two brand new ones featuring social media and production. Don’t forget you’ll have opportunities to sign up for a headshot and portfolio/resume reviews.

We are also excited to announce our “Marketing Meet and Greet Social Hour” where students can visit 1 on 1 with a variety of agencies, businesses, and higher education entities.

Established in 1965, the American Advertising Federation – South Dakota (AAF-SD) is the only organization that includes members across all disciplines and career levels in advertising. We’re here to help you advance your careers, build connections, and celebrate this ever-changing, amazing industry we work in. AAF-SD hosts monthly programs for members in the Sioux Falls area, but wherever your career adventure takes you, don’t worry, there’s likely an AAF chapter nearby.

This event would not be possible without our amazing sponsors: Vern Eide, Midco, Sanford Health, Woods Fuller, our venue sponsor USD – Sioux Falls, event sponsors First PREMIER Bank & PREMIER Bankcard, SDSU School of Communications and Journalism, USD Beacom School of Business, Lawrence & Schiller, along with Great Shots, and photography provided by Rachel Hansen at Digital Suite Marketing.
