1600 delegates for 10th Asia Pacific Advertising Festival (AdFest), were welcomed by a live band at the entrance of the venue at PEACH, Royal Cliff Beach Resort in Pattaya Thailand. The carnival atmosphere broadcast that the celebrations were about to commence for the largest ever gathering of advertising and production professionals in Asia Pacific.
The event kicked off with concurrent screenings of 895 TV award entries and an exhibition of two-dimensional media works, spanning three floors of the convention hall. This included 1,453 press entries and 1,392 outdoor entries as well as entries for DM, Cyber, 360 and Contagious Lotus for Innovation awards.
AP AdFest 2006 is the largest yet. 5,012 creative works have been submitted from over five hundred agencies in forty-nine cities around the region - a six per cent increase on the number of entries entered in 2006.
The AdFest speaker sessions kicked off in the afternoon with the latest Gunn Report, the global ranking of creative success, presented by Donald Gunn.
In the Gunn Report, Thailand was ranked as the 5th most awarded country worldwide in 2006 and first in Asia Pacific.
