Ad Age is hosting a free Gen Z Career Forum March 3 in NYC to help students learn what roles are growing, how careers in advertising and marketing work today, and how to build momentum early in a rapidly changing industry.
This in-person forum brings together marketing students, early career professionals and industry leaders for guided conversations about navigating career choices across advertising, marketing and media. Attendees will hear directly from professionals and recruiters about how roles are evolving, what skills matter most early on and how others have adapted their paths as the industry shifts.
As part of this initiative, the magazine is also extending a student subscription offer to Ad Age, giving students access to industry reporting, analysis and career resources.
Space is limited, so register soon.

Pace just requires that you be at least a junior, have a minimum 3.0 GPA and permission from our department chair, Paul Ziek.
Check out our graduate courses on Schedule Explorer. If you see one you like, complete a Registration Action Form (Course Restriction Override Form) through the registrar’s office.
