The UNC Advertising Club is hosting its 6th Annual Advertising Symposium on Friday, March 26th in Carroll Hall's Freedom Forum.  Students will have a chance to mingle with some of the industry's best from disciplines such as creative, account management and advertisers who hail from the digital world. Learn how to land a job or internship, discuss the latest marketing trends, and correct misconceptions or affirm truths about the industry.

This year's schedule:

Introduction/Breakfast (9:00-9:30)
Keynote (9:30-10:15)
Design/Creatives Panel (10:30-11:15)
