2026 Creative LIAisons Mentees

Pure creativity can't be taught. Everything else can.

Selection Process

LIA doesn't directly select attendees we send out global allocations to the creative community. Candidates are then put forward by companies that support LIA, agency networks, ad clubs and associations and the trade press through regional competitions. A select number of places in the virtual program only are held for candidates who self-nominate.

Onsite Program

Creative LIAisons onsite program, fully funded by LIA, runs concurrently with LIA judging in Las Vegas. The program features seminars, panel discussions, workshops and the rare and invaluable opportunity to observe statue discussions in the jury rooms.

Virtual Program

This program offers mentees one-on-one virtual coaching sessions with three established industry leaders from around the globe. These bespoke coaching sessions are customized to the mentee. Whatever it takes to help you develop your skills, elevate your ideas and fast-track your career.

Virtual Coaching Sessions: April through November 2025

On-Site Program Las Vegas: 27th September through 1st October 2025

“We talk about burn-out. For a lot of people their answer to burn-out is time off. This is an answer to burn-out. Go, get better at your job, take yourself to the next level, be around people who will inspire you, make connections. Creative LIAisons is the kind of program that can help solve burn-out." Susan Credle, Global Creative Advisor, IPG and Former Global Chair / CCO, FCB
