About the event
The advertising business has never stood still. Over the decades, it’s reinvented itself again and again—shaped by cultural shifts, media revolutions, and now the rise of artificial intelligence. Few people have had a front-row seat to these changes like Roger Gray, CEO of GKV and a fixture in Baltimore’s advertising community.
In this keynote, Roger takes us on a journey through the industry’s evolution, from the Mad Men era of big ideas and big budgets to today’s fast-paced, tech-driven landscape. Along the way, he’ll share candid insights, untold stories, and timeless lessons on creativity, leadership, and staying relevant through constant change. Whether you’re a student just starting out, an early-career creative finding your footing, or a seasoned pro hungry for perspective, you’ll come away inspired and challenged to think differently about the work we do and the business we’re in.
Q&A will follow, giving attendees a chance to dig deeper into Roger’s perspective.
After the keynote, stick around to connect with fellow creatives over networking and pizza courtesy of GKV.
