adfest, Asia's most celebrated regional creative festival, will celebrate its 30th anniversary at adfest 2027, which runs from Thursday 18 to Saturday 20 March 2027 at the Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall (PEACH) at the Royal Cliff Hotels Group in Pattaya, Thailand.
adfest 2027, themed “30&BEYOND,” is a testament to adfest’s commitment to connecting culture, craft, creativity and technology. It celebrates the journey shared, the community that has made it possible, and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.
Since 1998, adfest has brought together Asia’s creative community to celebrate bold ideas, inspire new thinking and champion the people shaping the future of creativity.
Founded as a small regional gathering, adfest has grown into a fixture of the creative calendar celebrating creativity and innovation across advertising, design, entertainment, media, production and communications. It is a non-profit entity built to nurture the region's creative industry, and its Lotus Awards are recognised among a select group of global rankings: one of only 7 regional creative festivals in the WARC Creative 100, one of 12 in the Campaign Brief Asia Creative Rankings, and one of 22 in The Drum World Creative Rankings.
Its most recent edition, adfest 2026, held under the theme "Human+," welcomed 859 delegates from 59 cities across 37 countries, with the largest contingents travelling from Tokyo, Bangkok, Seoul, Colombo and Singapore. It is the annual event not to be missed to stay at the forefront of the rapidly changing creative, marketing, and production industries.
With its 2027 milestone marking three decades since adfest's first edition, the festival returns to Pattaya having grown into one of the region's most closely watched creative gatherings, drawing agencies, brands, and production companies from across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and beyond for three days of awards, talks, and networking.
