Conversations About The Future Of Advertising (CATFOA) is an ongoing, always-in-beta speaker series co-sponsored by the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and the Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association.  I created CATFOA in 2008 and continue to host the series, which typically runs from mid-January to May each year. Events are held on Monday evenings, and are free to the public. 

For 2010, we're proud to announce four amazing speakers:

Edward Boches, Mullen

Faris Yakob, McCann Erickson

Hashem Bajwa, Droga5

Colleen DeCourcy, TBWA Worldwide
